"Punk meets electro-pop and both are happy, because the sound that emerges goes straight to the ear… "
The new single "Spit It Out" by "Rules Of This Game" scores with a refreshing genre crossover and a great synth hookline.
It features a voice with clear recognition value and lyrics with an important message: "The people with the greatest power are usually not those with the best intentions.
Always use your mind and your voice to question them." The lyrics were originally written at the time when Donald Trump became president and were intended as a protest song.
However, the words are formulated so universally and timelessly that they will never lose their relevance. They are meant to warn the listener about the antics of dangerous politicians and fascist structures.
Live:

13.07.24 Luxembourg, Luxembourg Pride
27.07.24 Duisburg, CSD Duisburg
17.08.24 Lübeck, CSD Lübeck

Rules Of This Game are a congenial duo from a small Rhineland town with the Cologne Cathedral in sight, bringing something special to the German music scene: Electrative Rock! What is that? A unique blend of modern rock and EDM combined with a solid touch of punk appeal, alternative sound, and a lot of catchy melodies. Plus, a live performance that sticks!
Their music creates a bridge between modern elements and stylistic influences from the last four decades of music history and seemingly effortlessly breaks the boundaries between various subcultures. The lyrics deal with contemporary issues ranging from personal to socially critical to political, underscored by the distinctive voice of singer Alessa.
After two EPs and 11 single releases with over 500,000 streams and around 150 concerts in various countries, the band has built a dedicated fanbase with their unique flair and has won three state artist funding grants, among others from the Initiative Musik.
