Rodeo Ruby Love have seen a lot of seasons change as they’ve developed from a piecemeal indie-folk side project into a well-oiled, reliable, power-pop machine. Moving from Indiana’s basement scene and into 3-month-long US tours, and onto MTV isn’t easy. One thing has always remained the same though, and that is their uncanny ability to write powerful, meaningful hooks while simultaneously coaxing toes to tap and butts to shake.
