Bitter Ruin's 2nd single from their upcoming album

Arches & Enemies

Through the Bricks

Support Each other please delivers a message that’s both personal and universal, reflecting on pain, resilience, and the importance of lifting one another up. The song tackles themes of betrayal, misunderstanding, and the weight of societal expectations while offering hope and encouragement to rise above it all.


Support Each Other Please

Created from old demos, All Wrong is an AI-enhanced darkwave industrial anthem of defiance and renewal. Driven by glitching textures, brooding atmospheres, and Clíodhna’s (AI) haunting vocals, it turns cycles of failure into cathartic power — raw, cinematic, and unrelenting.

I will be what some say that I can not be (zhake)

Formed in Brighton, UK, in 2007, Bitter Ruin quickly established themselves as an innovative force in the music scene, captivating audiences globally with their emotionally charged and theatrical live shows. The duo, consisting of Ben Richards and Georgia Train, is known for their provocative, genre-defying music and thought-provoking lyrics that blur the boundaries between folk-noir, rock, and alt-pop.
Bitter Ruin’s back catalogue boasts years of skilful musicianship and songwriting from both members - there’s an attention to detail and technique that sets them apart from the ‘oh-so-casual-cool’ music of the last decade, and their confidence to genre-hop makes it quite the challenge to categorise them effectively; outliers in this sense, but familiar in tone and relatable in substance, the music still feels nostalgic and distantly recognisable to their listeners. You can hear this best on their 2014 album Waves which earned critical and fan acclaim for its intricate compositions and unapologetic vocal acrobatics.

Following a string of successful tours across the USA and Europe, Georgia and Ben announced a sudden and mysterious hiatus. Now, ten years later, the band is poised for a highly anticipated return with a new album ‘Arches & Enemies’ set for release on 15th May 2025. This upcoming project promises to ignite an exciting new chapter in their creative journey, incorporating unchartered themes that reflect their growth and continued passion for music exploration. 

Fiercely independent and committed to pushing boundaries, Bitter Ruin continues to defy categorization and reject fleeting trends in favour of creating interesting and explorative art, earning them a devoted following and a lasting legacy in the music world. With their upcoming release, they are ready to captivate a new generation of listeners while reigniting the love of longtime fans.
