Blame It on the Heart

We play what we like to call FunkyPunkGrungyRockHop....with a dash of jazz.

Cruel Ploy is an alternative band built on contradictions — sleek yet raw, cinematic yet intimate, beautiful yet bruised. Their sound blends modern rock, electronic textures, and emotional grit, shaping songs that feel both deeply personal and universally unsettling.

Born from a world that often rewards cruelty, Cruel Ploy turns pain into power. Their lyrics cut through polished surfaces to reveal what simmers underneath — the quiet violence of everyday life, the hunger for connection, and the uneasy laughter that hides the truth.

Visually and sonically, Cruel Ploy carries a bold signature: gold and red glimmers flickering through the dark. It’s an aesthetic that mirrors their intent — to find light in the wreckage, rhythm in the chaos, and meaning in the mess of being human.

With each release and performance, Cruel Ploy crafts more than music — they build moments of tension and release, honesty and illusion, where every emotion feels earned.
