Ruff Cutts
Ruff Cutts is a 1982 EP from American heavy metal band Twisted Sister, released on Secret Records on 23 July 1982. It arrived in the same year as their debut album, Under the Blade, so it sits right at the start of their recorded story, when the band was just getting its name out on record.
The EP has had a second life since then. In 2011 the complete record was remastered and added as bonus tracks to the Eagle Rock Entertainment special edition CD/DVD reissue of Under the Blade. That makes it easy to hear alongside the debut, which is a sensible way to take in this early chapter of the band's career.
