The return of TORUS: ‘Ruby Red,’ raw and direct

MILTON Keynes-based fuzzed out duo TORUS – drummer Jack Orr and singer/guitarist Alfie Glass – blast into 2026 with the raucous ‘Ruby Red’ released via Headcharge Records.

“On this new single we explore themes of obsession, emotional damage and losing control when you love too hard,” said Orr. “The lyrics are raw and direct, channelling desert rock weight with modern grungy tension. This release continues our run of singles leading into our next EP, pushing the darker, heavier side of Torus.”

Explaining the thought process behind the video, Glass said, “After throwing ideas around with our ex-bassist Harry Quinn who filmed the video, we decided to lean into the wacky old Beatles short film vibe and do something fun that would show off our personalities a bit more, with the ridiculous quest of trying to find the magic milk from the sacred cow that would heal us from all of our wrongdoings mixed with a brutally honest relationship driven song that had to be made in that moment heading towards a slightly darker side.”
