Best of Boston

2002 Best Band, Live

Rubyhorse

Rubyhorse’s recent album Rise does not “sparkle” like their single, but it’s to catch these Irish rockers (who are Cork-to-Boston transplants) in the act. The band, which jammed on Conan O’Brien’s show in the spring, tears up the stage with high-stamina riffs that would wear out the Energizer Bunny.
