A second album single taken off Ruff Majik’s upcoming banger, »Battering Lamb«, is now streaming on Spotify and all digital providers.

The band comments: “Someone once called us “stoner glam”. We don’t know what that means, but »Battering Lamb« is out now on all streaming platforms!

Go check out the video, stream the tune, and remember that Ruff Majik sounds better when your neighbours are listening to us too!”

Kicking the vibe back to a sepia-toned era where bell-bottoms and fuzzed-out bass were de rigueur, the ‘Majik lads take a well-known template and drench it with their unique attitude and stoner-esque sensibilities.

The horned infant known as Ruff Majik emerged from the primordial ooze when the band moved from the historical town of Lydenburg in 2012 to the capital city of Pretoria, where they honed their craft for a few years before finally entering the studio to record for the first time. In 2024 and while they are currently gearing up for the September-release of their »Moth Eater« on Sound Of Liberation Records, Ruff Majik released a number of EP’s and three lauded albums to date, not to mention the megaton of local and international touring.

All the requisite ‘Majik trope boxes are ticked in thick, bold permanent marker – sludgy, distorted riffs, vast landscapes of sonic abandon, dark imagery that perfectly complements the delicious cacophony, and tasty sound bites that add infinite swathes of colour. This is what is expected from the band, their signature sound and one that never fails.

Watch out for further album details and pre-order options to follow in the weeks ahead, and make sure to catch Ruff Majik live during a busy touring schedule in 2024, with many more dates to be announced soon!

Ruff Majik are:
Johni Holiday – Vocals & Guitar
Cowboy Bez – Guitar & Vocals
Jimmy Glass – Bass
Steven Bosman – Drums
