the rules

There are 2 bands called 'THE RULES"
1: 'The Rules' (LONDON) are the UK NO.1 Man Band.

Fuelled by and an irresistibly tight rhythm section and bongo playing frontman this band create a uniquely ‘progressive/ pop-punk/ Bongo-Rock’ sound all of their own which includes acerbic guitar, blistering horns and the occasional face-melting filter-swept Korg Prophecy synth line.
