   About Prego

NME staffer sets up his own record label in order to release new PREGO single, “The Longest Calm” on 13th April ‘09

NME scribe Mark Beaumont is gearing up to the release of the new single by the hotly-tipped Prego through his Year Zero Recordings label. ‘The Longest Calm’ is released on 13th April 2009.

Says Mark of the venture: “After thirteen years of watching new bands, eventually one forces you to put your money where your mouth is. Prego were the loudest, most brilliantly concocted cross between My Bloody Valentine's cosmic scree, Elbow's elegant drone and Coldplay's Big Music chart-friendliness I could have ever imagined, and the first band I've ever seen knowing that I'd be a fool not to help put out records. I have no major label backing, no money for a full album campaign and not much interest in running a record label at all to be honest, so Year Zero Recordings - named after the club night I saw them play at - has been founded and is planned to exist solely for this one single release, and then be retired. Because sometimes, well, you've just got to, haven't you?“

The release of Prego’s ‘Cause & Resolve’ single last summer saw the band become widely tipped, rocketing to the attention of Steve Lamacq, and NME’s Radar Buzz pages. One of the most talked about new bands of last summer’s O2 Wireless Festival, Prego also featured in Rocksound magazine's Hot 100 and in their Top5 unsigned bands - as polled by the readers. Prego are in the studio with producer Guy Massey (Manics, Spirtualized, Idlewild) working on their debut album. ________________________________________

"Prego are brilliant. They make massive-bollocked 'new shoe' rock and will make you feel so much in heat you'll rub your arse ragged on the new lino" - NME

“They’ve choruses the size of new-build Far East skyscrapers and breakdowns as skin-prickling as the finest instrumentalists out there in post-rock land” – Drowned in Sound

“So slick is their set one can’t see past the dollar signs flashing neon in the eyes of the assembled industry types. Previous comparisons have been made to Death Cab for Cutie; tonight suggests that this London quintet are capable of a rock far mightier” – Rocksound Magazine

“The music’s a mix of intricate, luscious melodies, culminating with massive, thrash rock finishes that pay off colossally” - Gigwise

“There's nowt quite like a bit of ultra-sinuous singalongapost-fraggle with some gratuitous Fugazi plugging, is there? And, hallelujah, that's precisely what Prego have come to deliver in their own inimitably handsome and recklessly raucous fashion” – Playlouder

”Prego release their own brand of stunning rock with unrelenting melodic fury and intricate lyrical grace” – Rockfeedback

“Prepare to be stunned by a sound that's larger than you might have imagined possible as it escalates into epic proportions that will slowly but surely hook you in with its haunting melodies” – Rocklouder

Hi,

Thanks for acceptance of addage.  How the devil are yee?  What are you up to at the moment? I was talking to one of you fine chaps at the hinterland after thingy!  Really enjoyed the cd you gave me.   We are in the process of putting together some rough home recordings to help us pick which ones to record as an ep.  Would be great if you have a chance to listen to them and let us know what you think.  Just remember they are DIY bedroom recordings though!!!;oD  We just thought we would fire them up anyway. 

Hope to hear back from you

Cheers
