JUNO TV has been leading up to this year's Juno Awards on March 30 with a series of intimate performances videos, and the latest award-nominated band to take part is Born Ruffians.

The ultra-stripped-down performance showcases frontman Luke Lalonde playing solo in a tiny room while cameras capture the proceedings. He delivers an adaptation of the Birthmarks cut "Permanent Hesitation," which has been transformed into a country-tinged acoustic song called "Wandering Eye."

The full Born Ruffians session — with three songs, plus an interview — will be available starting tomorrow (March 20) over here on JUNO TV. The band are up for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Junos.

The next Vault Session will feature Justin Rutledge. Past ones have showcased July Talk, Daniel Romano, Rich Kidd and the Darcys.

As previously reported, Born Ruffians are set to release a deluxe edition of Birthmarks on March 25 via Paper Bag Records.
