Placebo’s Steve Hewitt takes new band Love Amongst Ruin on UK tour

Steve Hewitt, who for 11 years sat on the Placebo drum stool, has now stepped out from behind the skins, and brings you the debut album from Love Amongst Ruin. Now standing front and centre, and equipped with a guitar and microphone, Love Amongst Ruin's debut album is out on September 13th. It's a succinct yet wide-reaching beast, turning from distorted vocals and brutal rock pummel, to vast cinematic shimmerscapes and dark, brooding electronics.

You can download a free MP3 'Truth' from the band by signing up here.
