"The Ruby Suns" is the first full-length album released by the New Zealand based band The Ruby Suns. The band was originally called "Ryan McPhun & The Ruby Suns" and the album was released with this title in New Zealand on Lil' Chief Records. The album has subsequently been released in the UK on Memphis Industries in 2006 and in Australia on Pop Frenzy in 2007 with different art, and the title truncated to reflect the band's new name. The 2007 Australian release of the album contains two bonus tracks, both of which are from a self-pressed single by the band in 2007.
