‘I Don’t Want Paradise’, the second single to be taken from Brighton based indie, pop-rockers Rubylux’s upcoming album ‘The World Goes Quiet’, is a remix from pop industry veterans Pete Craigie and Tim Laws.

A song about desiring the imperfections in a lover (“Imperfections make a character or accentuate beauty. I don’t want perfection, I want the cracks of light, the things that makes us human” explains lead singer & guitarist Rob Irving) ‘I Don’t Want Paradise’ showcases the band’s strong musicianship, lyrical prowess and ability to pen great hooks. As anthemic and dynamic as rock but with the commercial and catchy appeal of the best pop, this single, and the music on their new album ‘The World Goes Quiet’, has an accomplished, assured quality. The album’s 12 tracks of rousing, infectious, big-chorused pop-rock, will appeal to fans of bands such as Snow Patrol, OneRepublic and The Script. 

“We gave everything on this album the time and attention it deserved,” explains bassist Clark Coslett-Hughes. “We tried to achieve the perfect balance on the songs and sounds from epic to chilled, which we like to put across in our live shows – it’s all in there. So I am confident that the album represents the band through and through.” Inspired by icons such as Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles to stadium-fillers like Radiohead and The Killers, Rubylux - who have already taken their music from the street to big festival stages- now dream of their own stadium shows.

Irving, Coslett-Hughes, keyboard player Adam Harris and drummer Mike Hall have seen a ground swell of support since the release of their first single earlier this year. Facebook fans rocketed by 250% to over 25,000, a number which is still rising daily. Having already received recognition from the likes of The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Led Zeplin’s Jimmy Page at Brighton Music Awards, this summer at Kendal Calling Seasick Steve caught Rubylux’s performance and later, during his own set, name checked the band as the ones to watch this year. 

Rubylux have recently been announced as the Music Ambassadors for Soccerex – joining some big names in football such as Michael Owen and Neymar - the band are the first musicians to take on the role. Rubylux on the Road To Rio will culminate in performances on Copacabana beach in November as part of the Global Football Festival ahead of the forthcoming world cup. 

Having recently performed at Rockness and The Barclaycard British Summertime Festival (with J-Lo and Lionel Ritchie, a personal highlight for the band), Rubylux will also be playing at Lodestar Festival, playing the main stage on August 31st as well as appearing at Feastival and Chris Evans’ Carfest in August. Please check their website www.rubylux.net for details of forthcoming live shows and more festivals throughout summer 2013.
