New Zealand's Rapture Ruckus get push in the US

NEW ZEALAND's electro/hip-hop/pop outfit Rapture Ruckus are to get a US release through BEC Recordings on 27th September with 'Open Your Eyes'. The band's 2007 album 'I Believe' produced Cross Rhythms turntable hits like "Lose Control" and "I Believe". 'Open Your Eyes' features their debut US single "This Little Light". Said the band's Brad Dring, "We've been going for a long time and built up our audience back home. Now that we're spending so much more time in America, it's like starting from scratch meeting new people. We've got a very simple strategy and that's to build it up organically the same way we did back home. We did 100 shows in America last year, are up to 130 this year and are always committed to taking a massive show with us wherever we go. Our goal in Rapture Ruckus is to lift people up from their burdens and leave our show feeling like a million bucks. We want people to hear our music and go away feeling better than when they came in."
