PURPLE, the band that NPR would "follow to the end of the Earth", is capitalizing on their 2015 momentum by supporting Island Records' July Talk throughout June. Find the full routing for where the band will bring their "loud-and-proud Texas punk party" (All Songs Considered) below.

In addition to being featured on NPR's All Songs Considered and Nerdist,Entertainment Weekly boasted that the rigorous rockers left them longing to "raise a middle finger to society with such a contagiously obnoxious glee" that makes listeners "easily forget that you're not in high school anymore."

Led by Hanna Brewer's bratty puckishness and the frenetic and muscular rhythm section of bassist Joe "Prankster" Cannariato and guitarist Taylor Busby, Purple pounds out the songs from their debut album (409) like Joan Jett fronting the Misfits, earning them praise as "the best new band in the world" from Kerrang! and garnering attention from Bust and Bitch magazines. The disjointed and herky-jerky power chords of "Thirteen" mesh perfectly with Hanna's attention-commanding screech and howl, forming the beauty of Purple: the tequila-chugging punk intermingling with gritty, snickering self-aware pop. It's punk music for those who just can't let go of hummable melodies, or pop music for the office worker covered in tattoos.

Purple is Hanna Brewer (drums / vocals), Taylor Busby (guitar) and Joe Cannariato (bass). (409) was released on January 27, 2015 on Play It Again Sam / America.
