Last month, when Forster-based two-piece The Ruiins dropped their latest single Wasted, we were immediately on board with their folky indie-rock sounds.
So fresh off the track’s release, we decided we’d get to know the band a little better. Here are 10 random questions answered by Adam and Pat from The Ruiins.
