Purple Rhinestone Eagle

About Me


Here is some recent press on our new album, Amorum Tali (Eolian Records):
"Purple Rhinestone Eagle throw a mighty jab with their new 12-inch record, Amorum Tali...Simply put Purple Rhinestone Eagle are on an entirely different plane than their peers - whether it be tugging upon the bushy mane of mythical classic rock unicorns, or grand post-punk numbers that rattle the exposed pipes of their packed basement shows. They intend on not coming back down to earth anytime soon." - Ezra Caraeff/Music Editor, Portland Mercury, March 2009
"We got a handful of these when the band were in town, but they disappeared before we could even hear it. We managed to get more finally, and HOLY SHIT, it's not hard to hear why we couldn't keep these in stock, some seriously fuzzy, Sabbathy, mystical metal garage rock, or something. The women from Portland, kicking out the jams, warm, languid, buzzy, doomy jams, super psychedelic, the guitars muddy and fuzzed out, the bass deep and throbbing, the drums pounding and a bit chaotic, the vocals wild and emotional and intense...The sound is sometimes epic and frenzied and very metal, sometimes brooding and murky and garage-y, often the two elements blurring into something else entirely." - Aquarius Records July 2009
