New Ruins’ We Make Our Own Bad Luck released 10 years ago today

New Ruins were active in the late 2000s here in C-U, and their sophomore record We Make Our Own Bad Luck was released 10 years ago today. The album was featured on our best albums of the decade list, and is still an excellent listen. 

On WMOOBL, original duo J. Caleb Means and Elzie Sexton expanded to a five piece, featuring Paul Chastain, Roy Ewing, and Andrew Davidson — and today marks the 10 year anniversary, as it was released on Parasol on April 28, 2009.
