Get to know PRUSSIA

July 6, 2011 1 Comment

Prussia is a band we can’t get enough of lately. Back in April, we had the pleasure of catching this Detroit 5-piece at JJ’s with opening acts Child Bite and Chattanooga’s own Black Painter. And all we gotta say is… GO SEE THIS BAND LIVE! Check them out performing the song ‘What Am I Going To Tell Your Mom’ at Audiotree Live and and you’ll hear why you’ll be hearing a lot more from these guys:

This song comes from the 4 song EP ‘Four For Attention,’ which was available digitally at the band’s bandcamp site until recently. We believe it got pulled because Prussia is in the final-stretch of wrapping up their debut LP ‘Poor English’ which they promised would be out later on this year. More details to come.

Since it’s no longer available, stream the 4 tracks from the EP below:
