In their decade as a band, PURE REASON REVOLUTION (PRR) relentlessly innovated on every release. Their debut was a modern spin on classic prog, as accessible to fans of TOOL, PORCUPINE TREE, and MUSE as it was to PINK FLOYD fans. Amor Vincit Omnia and Hammer and Anvil took them into electronic territory, all while maintaining a common progressive rock thread. It's fitting then that "Eupnea", the long-awaited return from the band, sees them harking back to their earliest days while rolling in all of the musical experiments and experience they've gathered in the intervening years. The cinematic soundscapes, gauzy psych-prog, dark atmosphere, and synths. For some bands, this would simply be retreading old ground. For PRR this relaunch is a rebirth, producing their most confident record yet, which takes them in a new direction while weaving in the elements that endeared them to fans in the first place. Available as a Gatefold 2LP + CD (with etching on side D), Limited CD Digipak & as a digital album.
PURE REASON REVOLUTION (PRR) is a British rock group formed at the University of Westminster in 2003. Their music incorporates elements of progressive rock and electronic. Their music has been variously described as "Astral Folk" and "Progressive Rock". Rick Wakeman has given the band a favorable review. Members have a shared appreciation for the work of bands such as PINK FLOYD, PORCUPINE TREE, NIRVANA, JUSTICE, KRAFTWERK, and FLEETWOOD MAC.
PRR began life as a Reading group named THE SUNSET SOUND, which featured the Courtney brothers, Chloë Alper and, for a short while, Jim Dobson. The Courtney brothers had previously played with pop-punk guitar band GEL, which was scouted and signed by Seymour Stein, the founder of Sire. Alper used to front PERIOD PAINS, who scored a hit with an anti-SPICE GIRLS song in 1997.
The band was completed by Tom Leathes (vocals, guitar) and Bob Cooper (bass guitar). Debut single "Moving" picked up radio airplay on BBC Radio 1 (where the band was championed by alternative-music guru Steve Lamacq), XFM, and LA's KROQ.
