(WATCH) Jersey Rock Video of the Week: Reality Suite “Cut, Burn, Bruise”
New Re-Mixed Maxi-Single Out Now!
The first time I listened to Reality Suite’s “Awaken” EP, the track “Cut, Burn, Bruise,” caught my attention. You simply cannot miss that killer guitar riff and memorable hook. It has a rad retro sound that gels perfectly with the the track’s overall composition. On the surface, it’s a great arena rock tune that could fit in just as easily in 2020 as it could in 1985. When you dig a little deeper and focus on the lyrics, it becomes something more. “Cut, Burn, Bruise,” is about lamenting the loss of a loved one. It’s a musical memorial, built on love and powered by Rock.
The song was co-written by Brian King and Darren Fisher of These Wolves. It’s easily one of my favorite songs; not only by Reality Suite, but of all the tracks I have reviewed since becoming the host of Jersey Rock. For that reason, I had to include it on 2018’s Jersey Rock Mixtape that we co-produced with our friends over at In The Clouds.
Reality’s latest release is a digital-only live album. “Live At Apha Wave Studios” captures the band’s first-ever world-wide streaming concert in epic fashion. Check it out HERE . The band followed up the album with a brand new maxi-single; a re-mix of “Cut, Burn, Bruise.” It is available now on apple music and spotify

Keeping with the live theme, Reality Suite’s video for the re-mix of “Cut, Burn, Bruise,” was captured during the band’s last concert before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down live shows. In early March, the band rocked the Asbury Lanes. Check out the video!
