The Hope & Ruin
After playing The Great Escape this year, Demons of Ruby Mae return to Brighton on the first stop of their month-long UK tour. Forming in 2013, the alt-rock Manchester duo and multi-instrumentalists Jonny Gavin and Adam Rowley have consistently been rising in acclaim and have recently released their single What Is Now in the run up to their debut studio album. The track sways between moody solemnness and cold whispering soundscapes to a glistening, triumphant indie pop chorus, something that has found them commonly likened to The XX and The National.

Hope & Ruin
This San Francisco native band dares you to try categorizing them. Buzzing with the possibilities that being undefinable brings, their sophomore album Bay Dream was released in June. With punk at their core and a carefree, mixed bag of influences that even extends to reggae, these guys could do anything.
