New Zealand's electro hip-hop team Rapture Ruckus release single, ready EP

Ignition

THE ELECTRO, hip-hop and rock band from New Zealand, Rapture Ruckus, are getting airplay for their single "Proof Of Life" prior to the release of their new EP 'Ignition', set to be issued on 15th January. Said the band's lead singer Brad Dring, "After meeting [science fiction author William Hawk] about a year ago, he shared how our record 'Invader Vol 2' had inspired him in the writing of this book series he was working on and wanted to know if we'd be open to writing some music to go with the book. After reading the story we felt it was something we needed and wanted to do. We love this first single 'Proof Of Life' so much because it's so relevant to the culture right here, right now. There is so much information being thrown at people online, followed by opinions, shallow relationships, leaving people feeling disconnected, lonely, depressed and numb, searching for something to make them feel alive. We love how all the songs on this project are inspired by a story and how its characters are highly placed in real life and personal experience. It was an incredible experience getting to create Rapture Ruckus music from a different perspective." CR
