This achievement made even sweeter as it crowns the band’s 4th studio album and marks their first #1 record in their decade-long career.

This is such an incredible achievement and one that feels extra sweet as it comes on the band’s 4th record. To stay at the top of your game for a decade is no mean feat and it is all due to The Rubens’ incredible ability to grow, experiment and embrace the new. The great, late Pete Lusty signed the band back in 2011 and we know he is celebrating this with us right now, double scotch in hand. This one’s for him. Congratulations The Rubens!
– A&R Director, Marihuzka Cornelius, on behalf of Ivy League Records
