Intense, frantic, NYC-based THE PARANOID CRITICAL REVOLUTION self-released their debut CD "Death of the Cool" just in time to play ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES , A Nightmare Before Christmas curated by Portishead in Minehead, England in December 2007. They've been described by IMPOSE magazine as "Seething with treble, technically formidable, and crashingly dissonant, THE PARANOID CRITICAL REVOLUTION was another of those acts that create far more of a racket than would seem possible for a two piece." Guitarist Reg Bloor and drummer Libby Fab met in 2005 and have been playing on the NYC club scene since the summer of 2006.
In addition to PCR, Reg Bloor has been playing with Glenn Branca (to whom she is married) since 2000. She played in Branca's Symphony No. 12, his rock band Branca/Bloor, in his trio, eventually becoming Concertmaster for his Symphony No. 13. In the late 90's she was a founding member of the Boston-based band TWITCHER, who released the self-produced CD "Leg of Lamb of God" in 1999.
Libby Fab became part of the Glenn Branca crew in 2006 as technical director, rehearsal drummer and assistant engineer for Symphony No. 13. She has worked on Branca's shows in Montclair, New Jersey, Belgium, Dublin and London. Prior to joining PCR, Libby studied electro-acoustic music and music composition at Trinity College Dublin, where she completed an M.Phil in Music and Media Technology.
"I'm digging the Paranoid Critical Revolution CD - (Reg)'s a killer gtrist and libby is amazing as well." --Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth
"Whoa. That was pretty intense, to say the least." -- Mike Watt after playing PCR on The Watt From Pedro Show .
