Pure Reason Revolution REUNION in 2019!

It's only 1 gig at Midsummer's Prog Festival in the UK, and of course not something I likely will be making (I've never seen them live unfortunately), even though the festival falls around my birthday.

Will this lead to more? who knows. I suppose it is worth noting how Chloe Alper's projects since PRR's breakup have been slow to happen. Tiny Giant have released a few singles and plays live at times; and I know there has been stuff about their debut album coming, but it was at least 2, maybe 3 years ago.

Jon Courtney's band Bullet Height did finally put out their highly industrial-influenced debut album in 2017, but I was only luke warm about it.

I.e. as a huge fan of PRR, I would love to still see them make more music and play live, even if it is independent while simultaneous with their current music projects.

I guess we'll see next year. Unlike some band break ups in the last decade, I recall the PRR members ended on good terms and said they planned to reunite at some point in the future. I guess 2019 is that year.

Bullet Height - No Atonement (2016-2017)

https://bulletheight.tmstor.es/


Berlin-based electronic-rock duo Bullet Height, featuring Jon Courtney (Pure Reason Revolution) and Sammi Doll (IAMX touring member), release their much-anticipated debut album ‘No Atonement’ for 19th May 2017.

10 tracks of dark, primal conviction, pulped with the avant-garde, fusing industrialised electronica, heavy guitars and heartbreakingly sweet melodies.


Preorder links there for CD and what looks like a Turquise/Teal Vinyl from Superball Music.

May 19th release.

The 1st single/video below "Hold Together."

The similarities to especially the last Pure Reason Revolution album Hammer and Anvil are certainly there, but I still am curious to hear what they do on this album, beyond the 1st single and I recall the other stuff they put out previously.

Industrial/Synthy rock with a lot of vocals with distortion.

I would think certainly the PRR fans will want to check this out among others.



1. Fight Song
2. Bastion
3. Hold Together
4. Wild Words
5. Intravenous
6. Cadence
7. No Atonement
8. Break Our Hearts Down
9. Fever
10. Up To The Neck

Random Artist Feature: Pure Reason Revolution (16 mins)

Not exactly a perfect video, especially considering I chose them partially per the size of their discography.

And length-wise, 16 minutes was hardly ideal, but so be it.

I just thought, despite lower viewership, I still have been meaning to make a bunch more of these videos, even if people don't watch them initially.

And my Tuesday Half-days have gotten off to a bit of a slow start with these per last week I went to see The Lobster, and the week before I brought my car in to have the oil changed, etc. But if all goes well, I should have the chance to come home late in the morning and make more of these during that time, if not other times.

Lots of work and Wedding stuff has been taking up my time of late, but hopefully those 1/2-days especially will help.

As far as PRR, they're a favorite, and there's not much more to say. Ministry of Music recently mentioned he dropped some requests, including my request for a review of The Dark Third, so that kind of inspired me to go ahead and make a video about PRR.

Bullet Height: Jon Courtney (ex-Pure Reason Revolution)

This sounds pretty good. Kind of PRR-like in some ways, with a bit of an electronic/industrial slant.

On Superball Music too.

While a PRR reunion may happen someday, the time table on that is unclear, but between this band from Jon Courtney and Chloe Alper's project Tiny Giant, the members are at least doing music again, and music I'm enjoying at initially.

Sammi Doll, the female singer I guess has played with the band IAMX.
