Abolish It All Vee Ruins is a singer-songwriter in Edinburgh, Scotland who plays witty folk punk and calls it praxis. She writes songs about hating men and cops, among other classic feminist themes. Her music is rio

This is so sweet thank you Black Glitter Music Promotion! 💜

"Vee Ruins may be armed only with an acoustic guitar and her single voice, but her music is pure energy and pure catharsis. Think of an all-acoustic version of the first Against Me! album and you'll have the right idea."

Fuzz Bat Gigs released a compilation of acts from their livestreams over 2020, you can get it here and I'm featured on volume 1! https://fuzzbatgigs.bandcamp.com/

Fuzz Bat Gigs DIY Gig Promoter based in Edinburgh putting on acts of a variety of shapes and sizes. Created this bandcamp as a means to release a xmas compilation featuring tracks from the live streams I've ran over this year in place of gigs.

I'll be livestreaming covers of every single song on the Burn the Earth! Leave it Behind! album this Saturday at 8pm UK time 🍁🍂 because singing pat the bunny songs slightly out of rhythm is ummm the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off? (that's the saying, right)
