‘The World Goes Quiet’ is the first single and title track from the forthcoming album by Brighton based, 4 piece band Rubylux. The anthemic mix of rock and pop, with its soaring chorus and insistent bass line, is impossibly infectious and the perfect introduction to the band’s second studio album. You can check out the brand new video for the single below:
The band are known for their ‘guerrilla street gigs’ across the country. Setting up on the street and playing for as long as possible, these regular free street shows helped Rubylux build a loyal fan following, funding their first steps towards recording their debut album ‘Fake Control’ with producer James Sanger.
Lead singer Rob Irving explains, “We’d borrow a generator and PA system, and we’d set up around Brighton, blast out songs for 30 or 45 minutes, however long we could play before the police or council shut us down. Then we started recording those gigs, to sell them later on. We made enough money to buy our own gear, because the street gigs attract a ridiculous amount of people, far more than we’d play to a small venue in Brighton. It’s something we love and want to continue doing.”
Arguably ‘Brighton’s best kept secret’, Rubylux received the best band accolade at The Brighton Music Awards, garnering praise from the likes of Roger Daltrey and Jimmy Page who presented the award.
After a hugely successful support slot with Russian rock-group Mumiy Troll last year, the band will support them once more, this time at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on May 25th.
