Bitter Ruin at The Borderline

Bitter Ruin (AKA Ben Richards and Georgia Train) are a haunting acoustic duo with grasping lyrics that are filthy with energy and anger. Renowned for their intense and dramatic live performances, their audiences are mesmerized by Train’s vicious, complex vocals and are left desperate to hear more of Richards’ brutal vocal attack and cutting, jagged acoustic guitar. While Richards draws his serene and engrossing tone from Jeff Buckley and Fionn Regan, Train punches quirky outbursts tainted by Regina Spektor and Kate Bush.
