Once again The Paul Collins Beat will go out and spread the word. In what has become a real tradition The PCB will now go one step further and go from doing smaller regional tours to tackling the entire country. As always these tours enlist the support of local bands everywhere, making it more about “Us” instead of “Me.” The Us here is guitar driven melodic rock n roll, call it Power Pop or Pop Punk or Garage Rock, it don’t matter it’s all about banding together to promote this style and genre of music which as hard to believe as it is, still needs a lot of help.
We still have a long way to go in educating the masses about a style of music that embodies all the best elements of the very best rock n roll: great songs, great guitar hooks and lots of harmonies. This music is about having fun! It’s about dancing, singing along and smiling, and having a good time and it is now going into its second generation.
“That’s what is so exciting to me!” Say Paul Collins, “Here we are some 20 years later and there are all these new bands picking it up where we left off, it is just so cool to be able to be a part of it!”
We need your help to reach all the people who listen to you or who read what you say in your area to give it a shot, come out and support people who do what they do because they love it, and most importantly come out because it makes a real difference for everyone, we will be very happy to see you! Thanks in advance for helping us do what we do, please let us know if you or any of your co-workers would like to attend the show as our guest.
Keep On Rocking!
