Pure Reason Revolution formed at the University of Westminster, United Kingdom, in 2003. Their music incorporates elements of progressive rock, grunge rock and electro, with its vocal harmonies reflecting those of The Beach Boys. Members have a shared appreciation for the work of bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Justice, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Super Furry Animals.
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.

Probably Amor Vincit Omnia. I felt really disappointed when it first came out. Now I like it more. But still not as near as good as The Dark Third.

apparently, they are recording a track in which Chloe uses slapping (bass technique). I couldn't ask for more, really. It's surely going to sound AWESOME :D *happy moments* (ps: for those who don't know, Jamie updates his twitter occasionally with info about the new recording)
