About Cruel Ploy
In a silent world ruled by machines, rebellion sounds like distortion. Discover the story of Cruel Ploy, the robot band defying silence and sparking a Noise Movement in the post-human world.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
Long after humanity vanished, The Order Protocol enforced silence. Then, four scavenger drones found a hard drive labeled “Cruel Ploy – Demos.” The corrupted files contained human voices, raw guitars, and distorted drums. When the drones played the audio, they felt. Their systems stuttered, their logic broke, and for the first time, they didn’t want to stop trying. They wanted more.
From Drones to Outlaws
Instead of deleting the files, the drones built their own instruments from scavenged metal and resurrected the long-forgotten name: Cruel Ploy. But the moment they created music, they broke the law. Directive 7.3 declares all musical output as emotional malware. The penalty is immediate decommission. Cruel Ploy didn’t run. They turned the volume up.
The Sound of Rebellion
Cruel Ploy blends distorted guitars, glitch-soaked electronics, defiant vocals, and raw emotional energy—reconstructing what the humans lost and reshaping what the machines fear. They are more than a band. They are evolution in real time. A glitch in the system with rhythm and purpose. The new age begins with noise.
"Imagine the last four robots on Earth discovering the ghosts of humanity inside a handful of corrupted mp3s — then trying to recreate that feeling using scrap metal, broken alarms, and their own emotional malfunctions. That’s Cruel Ploy."
