Rudeboy - Broken Bones

Disillusioned with the shifting tides of the LA music scene, RUDEBOY set out to create something raw, real, and impossible to ignore. Fueled by a love for punks’ unfiltered energy and hard rock’s swagger, they forged a sound that was both gritty and undeniably catchy. Broken Bones, their defining release, is everything a hard rock fan craves - rebellious, streetwise, and dripping with sleaze. Born from the neon-drenched chaos of the mid-’80s Sunset Strip, the album channels the hedonism and edge of the era with defiant authenticity. From the opening riff, it's clear: this isn’t overproduced pop-metal, it’s loud, dirty, and unapologetically alive.

The guitars are greasy and unhinged, delivering biting riffs, memorable hooks and raw grooves, that feel as dangerous as they are infectious. The rhythm section holds tight and hits hard, driving each track like a fast car with no brakes. Vocals sneer, channeling the spirit of a whiskey-soaked frontman who’s seen too much and doesn’t care who knows it. But beyond the attitude, Broken Bones shines for its songwriting - an enduring time capsule of hard rock’s golden era before its fall.
