About runo plum

runo plum emerged from the bustling London underground scene in the late 2010s, quickly carving a niche with their distinctive blend of Alternative and Alternative Rock. Formed by enigmatic frontman Leo Thorne and guitarist Maya Singh, the band’s early EPs like “Echoes in the Static” garnered critical acclaim for their visceral soundscapes and Thorne’s poetic, often melancholic, lyricism. Their breakthrough came with the 2022 album, “Crimson Haze,” featuring the anthemic tracks “Ghost in the Machine” and “Siren’s Call,” which became staples on independent radio and propelled them onto festival stages across the UK.

Known for their dynamic shifts from brooding introspection to explosive sonic assaults, runo plum’s sound is a rich tapestry of influences, from 90s grunge to contemporary indie experimentalism. The current lineup, featuring Thorne on vocals and rhythm guitar, Singh on lead guitar, the formidable rhythm section of Ben Carter on bass, and the powerhouse drumming of Chloe Davies, creates an undeniable chemistry that translates into an unforgettable live show. Their recent single, “Broken Atlas,” hints at a new, more expansive direction, promising an evolution of their already compelling sound.

Accessibility-wise, DUST strives to be inclusive; while the main performance area is on the ground floor with step-free access, it is always advisable to contact the venue directly regarding specific requirements, especially for accessible toilet facilities and viewing areas, as they are committed to accommodating all patrons. Its central location also means it’s surrounded by Brighton’s eclectic array of independent shops, cafes, and pubs, perfect for a pre-gig exploration.
