[edit] History
The band began as a product of the development of bedroom songwriters Martin Smith and Lloyd Carter. From an early age, they worked on various projects with local drummer Danny Star, and with the later addition of Irish-born bassist, Tiernan Welch, and guitarist, Spencer Baggotts, their line-up was finalised in September 2005. The name is taken from the inlay of Oxford based Radiohead album, The Bends[1].
Public Relations Exercise have played with acts including Winnebago Deal, 65daysofstatic, Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies amongst many other. After demoing material for some time, the band recorded their debut single, "Subteniente", at Far Heath Studios with producer Angus Wallace (The Fall, The Prodigy) in early 2006, which was released as a through Nottingham based Field Records in conjunction an extensive UK tour with ex-Million Dead frontman Frank Turner and London Hardcore outfit Score One For Safety[2].
Public Relations Exercise continue to work hard earning themselves notoriety and reviews in national press such as Rock Sound. Their first long player album, Come you are safe, we are from the bombs, is due for release April 2, 2007 via Field Records.[3]
[edit] Press
Public Relations Exercise offer more immediate thrills with their highly-charged antics. A man by the name of Fats stands hunched over a microphone, spitting out words with a manic sense of urgency and desperation while intensely rythmic guitars pound away at the cranium. Simultaneously catchy and chaotic, the Leicester bunch are quite simply a joy to behold.
