BRITISH PROG ROCK GROUP ‘PURE REASON REVOLUTION’ ANNOUNCE THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘COMING UP TO CONSCIOUSNESS’ AND NEW SINGLE “DIG TILL YOU DIE” ZOOM SPECIAL EVENT WITH FOUNDER/SINGER/SONGWRITER/KEYBOARDIST/ JON COURTNEY ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

PURE REASON REVOLUTION is a British Rock group formed at Westminster University in 2003. Trying to fit PRR into a specific genre would be a difficult task, which is one of their attractive qualities. The group is set to release their sixth studio album Coming Up To Consciousness via InsideOutMusic. Their new to-be-released album will be out on September 6th. The album feature’s themes of betrayal, deception, fear, grief, mortality, and questions of sanity. Legendary musician Guy Pratt, known for working with the likes of Pink Floyd played the bass guitar on seven of the eight tracks on Pure Reason Revolution’s new album. The band tells fans to expect more ambitious bass lines in Coming Up To Consciousness than they’ve heard in any previous Pure Reason Revolution albums.

The band was equally thrilled to work with multiple members of prog icon The Pineapple Thief; the record was mixed by Bruce Soord and mastered by Steve Kitch. Jon Courtney comments: “Spawned from the bereavement after my dog was put down, a numb & dry creative spell ensued, but after a meeting with my writer friend Craig Walker (Archive/Power of Dreams) & sharing how the last months had been, he urged me to get this experience down in lyrics & music. Suddenly the album flew out of me/us! In terms of the recording process, this album was probably the most enjoyable to make, with the various collaborations firing creativity.

PLEASE WELCOME British musician best known as a singer, guitarist, keyboard player and songwriter for the progressive rock band Pure Reason Revolution JON COURTNEY to Interviewing the Legends …
