Bopflix session with jangly London indie band RUBY DOOMSDAY (UK) performing new single 'Blood and Thunder'. Filmed live during soundcheck at The Cav, South London, UK (2025). Special thanks to Dom Kent and the team at The Cav and Johan Petti for audio capture and Zach Urch for mix.
Blood and Thunder is a rainy apocalyptic fairy tail observed through a night bus window cinema screen on a journey home through central London. The midnight moments and the rain were beginning to feel biblical. Is this flood more than a flash? Can anything be done to turn the tide? You decide.
Band lineup:
Joey Julliard- lead vox and guitar
Courtney McMahon - lead vox and keys
Zach Urch - guitar and bvs
Lucy Rice- accordion and bvs
Naoise May- bass and bv's
Sam Roberts - drums

*'Blood And Thunder'* (lyrics)
Warning bells were beeping
The night when Big Ben went digital
The bus roof was leaking
He lost control in the driver's seat
Oh a Piccadilly Circus sign
Blinking neon in her eyes
But the leaflets in her arms read
‘In the moment, what will you decide?’
Are u gonna be calling out my name
In the blood and thunder?
Cos poetry in the morning
Is too late
Cos the next door neighbours floating belly up
While the loan sharks circling an easy lunch
The fat cat can’t be fucked with anyone
He’s frying up bigger fish
And down in Covent Garden
Buskers and ballerinas
Reflect on the surface
Of puddles between us
Ohh it's coming down the walls into Nana's teacups
Go on and add a drop of milk
And a couple of sweeteners
Are you gonna be calling out my name
In the blood and thunder?
Cos poetry in the morning
Is too late
Cos the next door neighbours floating belly up
While the loan sharks circling an easy lunch
The fat cat can’t be fucked with anyone
He’s frying up bigger fish
On the corner waiting for a bus
Or a revelation from above
In the end, none of them showed up
So I turned towards the underground
And baby there’s a big red button
On the fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square
So maybe it’ll happen there
And the flood flashed early in the afternoon
They’re screaming ‘why won’t somebody save us?’
But the boat was rocking
When they went in two-by-two
Cos the next door neighbours floating belly up
On the corner waiting for a bus
Or a revelation from above
In the end, none of them showed up
So I turned towards the underground
And yeah the tide can pull a man away
But a ripple can become a wave
And everybody knows its gonna rain
So we can make a splash or two
Yeah you
(Yeah you)
You choose
You choose
