Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea (2019-2020)

 the 1st single, the 10+minute "Silent Genesis"
👍👍👍👍👍

very The Dark Third-like. 1st few minutes sound like Aeropause pt 2 in some ways.

Not a stretch, but with Dirt Poor Robins Dead Horse, Alaska coming, this may be a co-favorite for an AotY, but we'll see.




 Preorders (both Digital and Physical)

The duo say in a statement: “We stuck to our manifesto of no musical boundaries and the result was Eupnea. 
“We return to a more progressive sound with ferocious guitars, thunderous drums and the stacked harmonies that give us our signature sound. We're excited to begin playing it live.”


Yeah boi 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁

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.

edit:

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.

Pure Reason Revolution - Hammer & Anvil (2010)

from j_courtney aka Jon Courtney of the band's twitter

(his twitter posts are view-by-request/approval)

Pure Reason Revolution - “Hammer & Anvil” (Superball/EMI) out 18th October! Goodtimes!

so that is good news to see. One thing about Jon's twitter. I sent in a request to follow him awhile ago. Maybe 2 months, I forget. Unlike Jamie Wilcox and Chloe Alper, he protects his twitter posts. I'm not sure how one is able to access permission to view them, but I hope he never okay-ed my viewing them due to something I said or did with the band. I've been a long-time supporter of them, and actually introduced a number of people to them as well. Although, I doubt he realizes that, but if you look up the band's name and album titles, etc, this blog is one of the biggest hits in fact.

So perhaps his twitter is private to keep things "on the down-low" or something? maybe I spread word too far/fast/inaccurately/prematurely? I dunno, all I can do is guess, and hope he allows me to start viewing his posts on there soon. Although, anything important will quite likely end up on the PRR fans forum which I read regularly anyways, so it's kind of a moot point.
