RPM is an artist unafraid to speak her mind-- even in the face of controversy. Intelligent, infectious, melodic, and riveting music with powerful vocals, guitar and meaning.
Bio / Background
Born in Kentucky on an army base, RPM grew up in Virginia. Studying classical voice, piano and flute at a young age, she then moved on to electric guitar & headed to New York after (barely) enduring parochial high school. While working the "requisite shitty jobs & enduring the requisite shitty life experiences," and performing on stage, television, and Bleeker Street, RPM received a degree concentrating in Epic Literature from NYU. She then took off to Los Angeles and began working with various songwriters, musicians and producers. One of those collaborators was Frank Gryner (A Perfect Circle, Rob Zombie) with whom RPM would go on to create her debut CD IRRATIONAL ANTHEM (January '04).
Releasing IRRATIONAL ANTHEM through her own independent label 7940 Records is something RPM didn't question. "I wanted people to hear my music...now. Not wait on a corporation to sanction it.

Without any major label backing, RPM's IRRATIONAL ANTHEM defied odds earning incredible reviews and praise from the press, her peers, and fans alike. From a fan's CDBaby rave of "Fantastically Subversive!!!!!!" to Tommy Lee's "Hell yeah!!...Ya gotta love a girl who just doesn't give a fuck about saying what she feels," Antimusic's "Brilliant!" & Daily Vault's "[i]ron fist in a velvet glove, hell. RPM...is more like a titanium fist in a sandpaper glove with little spiky bits all over it," the only thing RPM is running short on is room on her press page.
The next step for LA based indie artist RPM was to release more material - this time in the form of a concept EP: A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO BEING AN AMERICAN (September '04). A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE...is causing another major stir with its powerful imagery and pointed musical criticisms of George Bush and the war in Iraq. Featuring a powerful cover of the 1989 hit Toy Soldiers, and anthemic new original songs, this release coincided with MTVU and FYE's 50,000 unit release of the IN THE WASH compilation featuring Don't Be You, the 100,000 JCPenney/FYE MP3 giveaway featuring Girl Next Door, numerous songwriting awards (including Billboard), heavy college radio play, a deal in Japan, and mainstream spins on LA's influential 103.1. A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO BEING AN AMERICAN is a fitting follow up to IRRATIONAL ANTHEM - direct, in your face, melodic, thoughtful, raw and rocking - what RPM is known for.
Currently, RPM is playing packed shows in LA, preparing for her February '05 Japanese release of Irrational Anthem (and subsequent live shows in Tokyo), writing and recording. For More Information On RPM visit www.rpm.tv or www.myspace.com/rpm.
