Press Release Summary: After a long silence, John Lennon pal recording artist Brulen
(Bruce Bierman) and a band of top-shelf musicians have come together to record an
album what will be known as "Rules Made To Be Broken."

His past CD entitled \'Message,\' initially to have been released in November 2006,
was halted due to John Lennon Estate's dispatch requesting that Bierman not use John
Lennon\'s music for his projects.

Press Release Body: LOS ANGELES - John Lennon pal recording artist Brulen and a band
of top-shelf musicians came together long ago to record an album what will be known
as "Rules Made To Be Broken." The recording project, started in 1989, is in its
final phase slated for a February 2008 release, as Brulen's multiple professions
have kept him totally occupied.

Perhaps even more interesting is Brulen's stealth career as a counter-surveillance
debugging specialist, snooping for prestigious clients by means of diligent attempts
to locate concealed listening devices. Having worked 15 years for famous sleuth Hal
Lipset, he has appeared as an expert on NBC Nightly News and in several news
publications.

Brulen has broken a few rules, stating "Who says you can't restart your musical
career after fifty?" Even after every major label has turned him down, Brulen has
broken the rules and self-prepared everything, manages himself, and designed all the
art and web workings.

Known as Bruce Bierman, 'Bru-Master' and 'Bru,' his background ranges from being
produced by former Beatle John Lennon, sound engineering for Jerry Garcia, 'Grateful
Dead', 'Journey' and several other San Francisco based bands, to also being credited
for the development of 'hibernation technology,' that which puts a computer to
sleep, a feature contained within Microsoft Windows® since 1998.

The debugger and software developer is also a multi-faceted singer, songwriter, and
musician who plays guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. Two tracks "Little Bird" and
"Was It You?" features Brulen performing in entirety, arranging, recording and
producing.

The CD also features performances by 'Journey' bass player Ross Valory and drummer
Bill Gibson of 'Huey Lewis and The News,' among other notable guest appearances.

Recently, Brulen disclosed his association with the ex-Beatle and intended to
perform and release songs they wrote together. That project has since been abandoned
at the request of the John Lennon Estate, writing Bierman not to use any of Lennon's
music in his projects.

Preview the songs, the players, his extensive and colorful past and over one hundred
photos on his new website, www.Brulen.com. Visitors can post their own 'rules made
to be broken' on that site's "Rules Blog." His John Lennon association is
chronicled at www.NewLennon.com.
