book ii is a post-punk outfit that has channeled so many of the greats in a fashion that is still very much their own on their latest single “The Ruse,” a song that they describe as being “about a relationship blinded from the realization that they are no longer healthy for each other and the delirium that ensues.”
With some fierce jangly angular punk guitar work, sharp, pointed vocals, and amped-up energy, book ii delivers “The Ruse” with the intensity of bands like Protomartyr, Shame, and calling to mind giants like The Fall.
