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.

THE RUSE, Jim Bilus (guitar), John Dauer (vocals), Jason Young (drums), Mark Stolze (bass), have been touring nationally for two years and have independently released two records.

In early 2006 THE RUSE released their sophomore record Light In Motion to rave reviews across several continents. Having played over 90 shows throughout the US in support of Light In Motion, the band is currently in the studio working on their third record due in early 2008.
I havent heard a more solid album then Light In Motion in the last year or so. - Jeffrey Kurtis, AllAgesZine.com
