Ruby Coast call Aurora, Ontario, home, but their horizons stretch further than the 401, and their appeal is broader than the 905. Take the choicest elements from Born Ruffians, Tokyo Police Club, and Islands and desert them on a desert island; the resulting new society would sound amazingly like Ruby Coast.

In fact, Tokyo Police Club front man Dave Monks produced the band’s debut EP, Projectable Collections.  It’s six tracks are sprinkled with indie pop pixie dust, and tempered by some finely honed playing.  There ain’t a stinker in the lot, and that should bode well for any future full length releases.

Ruby Coast are coming off a high playing Halifax’s Pop Explosion with islands and Sebastien Grainger, and have a few more dates lined up in Southern Ontario next week (the 7th at Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto, the 12th at Hamilton’s Casbah, and the 13th in Guelph).
