Ruth in the Bardo is a Philadelphia-based band that describes their sound as "Southern Baptist transcore" or "Southern Gothic slowcore shoegaze"

Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Ruth Trupiano, their music blends dreamy, atmospheric guitars with the heavy, emotional undercurrents characteristic of shoegaze and slowcore. The band's sonic atmosphere channels a distinct "Southern Gothic" vibe—feeling simultaneously melancholic and beautiful.

Vocally and thematically, their songs serve as a powerful medium to speak to the truth of transgender life, while also carrying intimate, conversational lyricism about loss, hope, and chosen family.

Ruth in the Bardo is signed to Julia’s War (also known as Julia's War Recordings).
