About The Letter Black:
After debuting with the aptly titled Breaking the Silence EP in 2009, The Letter Black released their full-length debut Hanging On By A Thread, to become the second highest Tooth & Nail debut in the label’s history. The Letter Black has appeared on stage with Hail, a fellow super group jam featuring Dave Buckner of Papa Roach, Marcos Curiel of P.O.D., Travis Miguel of Atreau and Marcello Rapp of Soulfly, alongside Traa of P.O.D. serving as guest bassist for the band during a benefit, not to mention two legs of touring with Skillet.

About Rapture Ruckus:
Fronted by MC Rapture (Brad Dring), Rapture Ruckus crafts an arresting, original fuse of rock laden hip hop, with heavy guitars and slick pop sensibilities. Rapture Ruckus debuted in 2002 at New Zealand’s Parachute Festival (one of the largest music festivals in the Southern Hemisphere) breaking the event’s record for highest-selling new act. Rapture Ruckus has continued touring, supporting bands throughout North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Next week on June 8th, Rapture Ruckus release the self-titled album via BEC Recordings. Check out the newly posted album trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/raptureruckustv .  For more information on the force that is Rapture Ruckus, visit http://www.myspace.com/raptureruckusmusic.
