A bar band that gives a nod to The Replacements and Ramones over blues rock tinged with beer, Classic Ruins is Frank Rowe (guitar, harmonica, lead vocals), Carl Biancucci (bass), Jeff Crane (guitar/v) and Matt Burns (drums). The band came together in Boston, 1978 and has been performing in some incarnation ever since.
