The Ruse

Armed with the new album Midnight in the City, THE RUSE is taking epic rock to new heights. Expanding on the atmospheres of their first two albums these LA rockers have truly delivered their strongest album to date. From the punky new wave first moments of the opener Beautiful is Gone to the classic rock swagger of title track and album closer Midnight in the City, THE RUSE takes the listener for a night out on the town and doesn't bring them home until the sun comes up.
