[edit] Band History

'Perfect World Ruined' formed in 2003 out of a smaller band they called 'The Dukes'. Mark and Ian, during early shows, would switch duties on guitar and bass often. As the band settled into a more defined sound, however, things would settle with Mark and Ian in their current roles (although both do continue writing for both instruments).

Also during the period of incubation, political imagery and philosophical thinking became part of the band's identity, most of which was the influence of Jake Ruined, who himself was influenced by plethora of sources, ranging from musical and lyrical sources such as Anti-Flag frontman Justin Sane, Thought Riot, and Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha, to writers and philosophers including Friedrich Nietzsche.

Building out of the small area of Westwood, California, the band began booking shows in neighboring Susanville, California at Lassen Community College and the now defunct venue The Hangout. The band then quickly began to add shows as far away as Portland, Oregon and Reno, Nevada, as well as shows in Chico, California. By 2007, their list of tour dates grew to include cities such as Sacramento, California and Lake Havasu, Arizona.

The band is unsigned, though they have recorded many songs, and released most of those on the band's MySpace website.
