Pure Reason Revolution – Deus Ex Machina
Biography
United Kingdom (2003 – 2011)
Pure Reason Revolution began life as a Reading outfit named The Sunset Sound, and featured Jon Courtney, Andrew Courtney, Chloe Alper and, for a short while, Jim Dobson. Jon and Andrew Courtney had previously played with pop guitar band GEL, and were signed by Seymour Stein to his Sire record label, home of Madonna, The Undertones, The Ramones and Ice-T. Chloe used to front the Period Pains, who scored a minor hit with an anti-Spice Girls song.
The band was completed with Tom Leathes (vocals, guitar) and Bob Cooper (bass guitar). Their debut single “Moving” picked up radio airplay on Radio 1 (where the band was championed by alternative-music guru Steve Lamacq), XFM and LA’s KROQ. The Reading Chronicle’s Weekender section described the band’s sound as “sugary sweet swaggering guitars” and “breezy, sophisticated harmonised guitar pop” and compared the band to the Beach Boys playing Nirvana songs.

I was blissfully ignorant of the split :( I love everything they ever put out. I try to recommend them to as many people as possible but the name is a mouthful and no one remembers it...

I checked out this band on a whim and I really love the progressive but modern sound!

They really have to reunite because their music is so fresh and new and rich and unique. But mainly because my life needs them back.

*Late* They broke up? What grim news. At least they never released an album I hated before they died off but, wow, I thought they had a good thing going, solid creative momentum. And so much chemistry, too. I'd imagine if I was aware of them at the time, I'd be as dismayed to hear Slowdive breaking up. I really love PRR. Undoubtedly there will be future projects involving these musicians and a reunion in a decade or less, but what a kick to the shin, as I was hoping to dig up news of an upcoming release.
