The Ruling Class


The Ruling Class

In 2005, Swedish guitarist and songwriter Tomas Kubowicz relocated to Stockholm, where he met bassist Anton Lindberg. Unable to find simpatico bandmates after a year of searching, the pair moved to London in summer of 2006.

Eventually, however, they found drummer Alfonso Tammaro, and the newly solidified trio (with Tomas also providing vocals) quickly made an impression upon producer Mark Wallis, who has worked with The Smiths, The La’s,The Go-Betweens, and many others. Also whilst in London the trio found Jonathan Sutcliffe (main vocals) and Andrew Needle (rhythm guitar). The fruits of the band’s sessions with Mark make up their official debut, Tour de Force, a limited-edition CD/7-inch released by Shelflife Records.
