Bitter Ruin #1: "Amazing noir indie-folk" indeed!




Biography (courtesy of myspace)
Described as ‘Amazing noir indie-folk’ by Latest7, Brighton’s weekly lifestyle magazine, Bitter Ruin are an explosive, theatrical acoustic duo with grasping lyrics filthy with energy and anger. Renowned for their intense and dramatic live performances, their audiences are mesmerized by Georgia’s vicious, complex vocals and are left desperate to hear more of Ben’s brutal vocal attack and cutting, jagged acoustic guitar.

Georgia and Ben are from opposite ends of the UK. Their influences are similarly from opposite musical counties. While Ben draws his serene and engrossing tone from Jeff Buckley, Georgia punches quirky outbursts tainted by Regina Spektor and Kate Bush. However the duo has obviously adjusted their ear drums to gorge on each others inspirations and have skillfully combined their crowning credentials to hatch an addictively juiced sound and frenzied drama.

If the intro post has not caught your attention, then I highly suggest you watch the video they recorded for their song Beware: YouTube - Beware - Bitter Ruin (Dark Cabaret)

Anyone else a fan? I think they're fantastic!! I wish I lived in the UK so I can see them live. Their shows are supposed to be really intense.

They're currently working on a new album, which makes me a very happy fangirl.

Aww, come on people!! They're a seriously awesome band, show me some love!!

They've literally just released this new music video over Facebook. It's called Brand New Me and it features Georgia's brilliant and delicate vocals very nicely. This is one of the few songs that doesn't feature Ben, actually!! Anyway, without further ado:


And for other incentives to listen, a clip of a new song and some live videos. I hope to one day see them live - their shows seem so intense and just amazing!!









Hell, just watch the whole gig here. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!! :p
