Pure Reason Revolution

Announce Farewell Tour - November 2011

"Valour" EP


"PRR has been a labour of love for many years, but our individual changing circumstances necessitate a time to finish. It's been a long and winding journey and we want to thank you all for the support you have given us. By way of showing our gratitude and saying goodbye we will play 6 final shows in the UK." - Pure Reason Revolution

"I'm sad to see PRR calling it a day. I have good memories of them supporting Blackfield and Porcupine Tree, catch them for the last time in Nov." - Steven Wilson

Pure Reason Revolution are set to bid farewell on their final UK tour this November. The band will also release an EP entitled "Valour" for a limited time only, which will include a new, exclusive track called "Tempest".

After researching his Great Grandfather's WW1 history, songwriter Jon Courtney wrote their last studio album "Hammer & Anvil". Jon said, "I was both saddened & staggered by the sheer enormity of loss, peoples valour & the mass destruction."
