The Schizophonics are back! Returning to Brighton on the back of their last sold out show in 2025!
Amps screaming. No exit in sight. The Schizophonics kick the door in and never let it close. This San Diego–based three-piece delivers a live show that’s loud and dangerously fun—an all-gas, no-brakes blast of feedback and groove. It’s full-contact rock ’n’ roll: high voltage, high velocity, and sharpened to a blade.
The band features Pat Beers on vocals and guitar, Lety Beers on drums, and Sarah Linton on bass. Together they unleash a fuzz-soaked, funk-fueled attack built on pounding rhythm and feral energy. Every song hits like a charge. Every set feels like the floor might give out. Blink and you miss something. Stand
still and you get run over.
Forged on the road and fueled by motion, The Schizophonics have torn through stages in fourteen countries, earning a reputation as a must-see live act that turns rooms upside down. Channeling the raw spirit of James Brown, Iggy Pop,
Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and The Sonics, they strip rock back to its most dangerous elements—and set them loose. Behind the chaos is precision.
Behind the noise are hooks that bite. The Schizophonics are currently finishing their fourth full-length album, due out at the end of 2026

Description
The Hope & Ruin stands as a vital artery within Brighton's cultural landscape, a dedicated grassroots music venue and pub that champions independent artists from the city and beyond. It serves as a consistent platform for emerging talent and established acts, fostering a dynamic exchange that enriches the local creative community and contributes to the national live music circuit.
Inside, the atmosphere is defined by a deliberate, artful chaos. Reclaimed objects and worn wood surfaces contribute to a characterful patina, while the soft glow of fairy lights illuminates a space that feels both lived-in and perpetually vibrant. The air often carries the faint scent of hops and the anticipation of live sound, creating an environment that encourages discovery and connection.
The venue prides itself on a 100% plant-based offering across its food and drink menus, featuring local craft beers, ciders, and spirits alongside a popular vegan kitchen. While the main bar area on the ground floor offers step-free access and accessible toilet facilities, the upstairs music venue is accessed via a flight of stairs.
Throughout the week, The Hope & Ruin hosts a diverse programme of events. Beyond the regular live music performances, patrons can expect evenings dedicated to DJs, art happenings, engaging quizzes, and spoken word events, ensuring a continuous flow of creative expression within its walls.
