PRE
Band
from London. One of the bands IÕm pretty keen on at this moment together with HEALTH. IÕm trying to sort
something out for both at this moment. Hopefully with succes and something they
will like.

Biography
After
abandoning their previous vocalist and their former name, the London-based no
wave noise-rockers PRE formed in 2005 with animated singer/shrieker Akiko
Matsuura, a daredevil known for taking the stage in only her underwear and
falling down face first. Her unorthodox spastic antics and vocal style worked
well with the band's thrashing song shards and atypical lineup of two bass
players, a drummer, and guitarist. Only a few months after PRE's first show,
they released their debut EP, Treasure Trails, and followed it up with a few
split 7" releases with AIDS Wolf, Dmonstrations, Bardo Pond, and Comanechi
(with Akiko on the drums). As the band's popularity escalated, avant-garde
noise connoisseurs Skin Graft Records took notice and released the band's full-length
debut, the aptly named Epic Fits, on September 4, 2007. In 2008 they recorded
their second album, which is released in Summer 2009.
