Ruth’s Hat: a punk pop n’ roll band of such magnitude that it hails from two countries! Formed in 1997, the band features members from London, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. Armed with deadly melodies and harmonies that would make Brian Wilson jealous, the Hat’s vigorous, punk-injected pop ‘n roll will induce even the most cynical curmudgeon to sing along! The Hat’s influences – ranging from rockabilly to merseybeat to power pop to punk rock – read like a history of rock n’ roll, allowing the band to revive songs and styles long abandoned by mainstream music. Retro in spirit but distinctive in nature, the songs of Ruth’s Hat reflect a fervent affection for the rock n’ roll of the 50s, the sunny pop melodies of the 60s, and the punk-fueled energy of the late 70s. With infectious, upbeat tunes, rockin’ riffs, and delightfully layered harmonies, each frenzied, sugary blast is worthy of the title “hit”. Ruth’s Hat delivers not only the rock but also the roll, saving the world one song at a time through pure, unadulterated fun!
On April 22, 2003, The Fast Music Label out of New York City released The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Rock and Roll. This is Ruth's Hat's second proper full length. Over the years, Ruth's Hat has released countless 7" records and CDEPs on both foreign and domestic labels plus two CDs on Mutant Pop Records out of Oregon. "Bye Bye Love", the bands debut full-length CD, garnered excellent reviews while the latter, "Value Pack" (a collection of cover songs) charted nationally on the Canadian college radio charts. The band has toured the USA three times, Canada twice and played NXNE, Canadian Music Week, and Warped Tour.
