Born Ruffians Show Rigors of the Road in “Don’t Live Up” Video

Share

Born Ruffians will release RUFF on October 2 and with that will come a bunch of touring across North America and Europe – something the band has been doing for years.

In the video for “Don’t Live Up,” Born Ruffians shed light on how monotonous life on the road can be and how, after a while, it can take its toll on one’s happiness.

“Audiences are only privy to the ‘glamorous rock star’ aspects of touring,” said Born Ruffians frontman Luke Lalonde of the video. “But no one is really aware of the nine hours sitting in a van, the toll on your mental and physical health from no sleep, poor eating, drinking too much or indulging in other bad behaviors. It seems romantic to some, but in fact it can be pretty dark.”
