PPR

About Me

PPR is an experimental punk style band from Atlanta. We formed back in late 2002. We released a self titled EP in 2003 and we released a very specific concept album called "Diarrhea" in 2005. We played a bunch of shows in the southeast around this time in support, and did a tour up the east coast.
We presently have a new EP "Crab" which consists of surf and not surf instrumentals. Coming soon we will also have a album called "Breakfast" which is heavier and less instrumental in nature. Both these CDs were recorded at the world famous Milestone club in Charlotte NC. We lived there for four days and drank a heroic amount of Jameson and Jager in the process. The recordings reflect this.
When PPR first formed we used to live together in a poorly insulated shack in the woods with no heat and no hot water. That is true. It was crazy dirty and scorpions lived there, but we could play music 24 hrs a day. If you left any food out a million ants would come eat it within a few minutes, and black stuff grew in the sink.
When PPR first found our drummer, he and the bass player were working together at a bar and spent a good deal of time diving into empty delivery boxes and then setting them up and diving into them again. Apparently this has never stopped affecting the chemistry and tightness of the rhythm section.
