EMERGING FROM THE ASHES OF FORMER ROCK & ROLL RUMBLE WINNERS GODDAMN DRACULAS, RUIN THE NITE WAS FORMED BY CHRIS DUGGAN (BASS) ALONGSIDE HIS BANDMATES JEFF “CHIP” NICOLAI (KEYBOARD) AND DAVE NORTON (DRUMS) WHILE HANGING AROUND THEIR ALLSTON PRACTICE SPACE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COMES NEXT.  THE TRIO KEPT PLAYING TOGETHER, TRYING NEW THINGS AND BUILDING ON BITS AND PIECES OF ALL THE BANDS EACH HAD BEEN A PART OF IN FORMER ROCK LIVES.  QUICKLY THINGS BEGAN TO GEL AND A NEW BAND WAS FORMED. THE INITIAL GOAL WAS TO PLAY MUSIC FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF ENJOYING IT. TO WRITE AND RECORD TUNES THAT MADE THEM HAPPY, PLAY SHOWS WITH FRIENDS, AND ENJOY BEING IN A BAND WITH GOOD MUSICIANS WHO ALL REALLY RESPECT EACH OTHER. ROUNDED OUT BY GUITARIST MATT SULLIVAN, TRUMPETER DAN MCCOOL AND SAXOPHONIST NATHAN BLASER THE SOUND AND STYLE TOUCHES ON ROCK, POP, YACHT ROCK, AND ‘70S AM GOLD TO NAME A FEW. JUST AS THE BAND WAS STARTING TO PLAY SHOWS IN THE AREA, THE PANDEMIC STOPPED THEM IN THEIR TRACKS. THEY MANAGED TO STICK TOGETHER, SHARING IDEAS AND PIECING TOGETHER A FEW DEMOS THAT LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR A FULL-LENGTH ALBUM. RUIN THE NITE’S DEBUT LP, SOUND THE ALARM, WHICH WAS RECORDED BY DUGGAN AT HIS HOME STUDIO, BLUE BANSHEE IN BREWSTER, MASS WAS RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 11, 2022.
