We Punked Out

“Awesome experimental hip hop” – BBC 

“Really interesting experimental hip hop and a really good album” – The Wire

"Birmingham three-piece Ruane Maurice are a bit of a strange beast; in the broadest sense their music is hip-hop but they're approach is entirely their own. " - Complex

“Ruane Maurice are masters of painting a sonic mise en scéne” – Noisey

“They are rawer than Ghostpoet, whiter than Dels, easier to understand than The Streets, and quite a bit more British than Shabazz Palaces… Rare amongst contemporary English bands, they combine their affinity for different genres into a dusky and innovative whole.” – Orange Peel

“A prime cut of dark, brooding hip-hop” – PopMatters

“Ruane Maurice produce one of the most originally intoxicating hip-hop hybrids you’ll hear this year. ” – Obscure Sound

“It’s hard not to notice their impeccable production (…). The layering and composition, the smokiness, the way every sound molds to the next, make these guys so fresh and exciting to hear. (…) It’s a true partnership, musicianship at its finest.” – IX Daily

“Such a dark and twisted album, from the heaviest and most impacting bars, the lyricism wipes the floor and lays a new one in the Uk Hip-Hop industry.” – MDH

“The terrain of musique concrète is turned over for fun production, and raspy, recited deliveries” – IMPOSE

“Ruane Maurice blow our tiny little minds with their brand of contemporary hip-hop mixed with an electronic vibe” – Amazing Radio

“Cool, experimental R&B hip hop” – That’s Deck via EMS Radio

“Ruane Maurice take their inspiration from just about everywhere… but whoever sounds this beautiful, is allowed to copy. Ruane Maurice take stylistic cues from some of the biggest bands and then combine it into something even bigger.” – Radio SRF

“There is something almost scientific about Ruane Maurice. They have the ability to create several experiments within each track, combining different genres to create a unique sound that doesn’t just purely focus on the exterior connotations of Hip Hop, but on the internal ones… focusing on the fragility of the ego.” – Stimulate Your Soul
