DNR

About Me

Pop-punk rock trio DNR first formed in 2001 with Dave on Guitar and Vocals, Dan on Bass and Vocals and Jay on drums. After gigging shitloads, and recording numerous CD's and tapes (only a few of which were heard), Jay decided to leave. Enter the Puggs! DNR upped their level, producing easy to listen to raw punk rock in the style of the East bay late 80s early 90s scene. Unfortunately in the September of 2004, DNR played their last show headlining at the Greenock PunkFest. Talks of reuninions are few and far between, but add us and you'll know about them first.
Quite truly the greatest band you never saw.

What we're doing now
Dave is currently toying with acoustic punk rock songs here
Puggs is currently playing with Yag Backwards
Dan is currently playing in Nails of Christ

Both Dave and Puggs have myspace pages, as can be seen below, but Dan is far too cool for a myspace, infact, myspace has a dan page
