‘Your Favourite Central Coast Garage Rock Band Named After A Chinese Restaurant In Umina.’
Born from a necessity to combine a succulent Chinese meal with swampy garage rock’n’roll!
Over the past three years of gigging on The Central Coast, Sydney’s Inner West & Newcastle/Maitland the band has developed from Alt-Country to a tougher Garage Rock band while still maintaining catchy guitar pop elements and showcasing their love of all things Glam, Punk, Garage, Rock and Indie, it stomps right out of the gate unashamedly wearing their influences on their guitar strings (The Gun Club, The Smithereens, Big Star, The Clash, Kiss, Johnny Thunders, Hanoi Rocks).
Over their brief existence they have supported such names as Chris Masuak (Radio Birdman/New Christs/Screaming Tribesmen), Kim Salmon (The Scientists/Beasts Of Bourbon), Sister Paul from Japan and Haxan from the UK.

After a year in hiatus, Van Ruin is back with an all-new lineup and ready to hit stages here and overseas.
Following the release of their debut album ‘Trauma Magnet’ and successful euro jaunt in late 2025, the band has regrouped and found a new rhythm section with Peter Kelly (ex- NEW CHRISTS, VANILLA CHAINSAWS) joining on drums/vocals and Aniela Zielinksi (PROJECT 76) taking on bass duties.
Stay tuned for a bunch of local shows as well as NORTH COAST NSW, QUEENSLAND and VICTORIA tours before they head into the studio to record their second album ahead of another planned European tour later in 2027.
