about

Pre-order 'Trauma Magnet' now and secure your copy, vinyl LPs ships.mid-to-late August!

Following on from last year’s debut EP, ‘Jails, Death & Institutions (Crankinhaus Records), Van Ruin has rapidly upped the ante with their first album, ‘Trauma Magnet' making its presence known ahead of their first European tour in September 2025.

Trauma Magnet unveils a cast of characters whose fallible traits play out against a backdrop of high-energy rock and roll and hook-laden songs.

The members of Van Ruin's history in Australian rock is pretty vast - they've been a part of crucial acts like the New Christs, Lime Spiders, Deniz Tek Group, The Visitors, ME262, Decline of the Reptiles as well as East Coast Low, Hell Crab City, Chickenstones, Loose Pills, The Panadolls, Aberration ... well, we could go on and on, but hopefully you get the picture.

These guys have taken everything that's been formative about their musical journeys and distilled it into 12 tracks of fully-realised Aussie punk rock and roll with a dash of blues-rock and a sprinkling of pop sensibility. Grab yer board and jump right in!
