PREP formed in 2014 around vocalist and guitarist Cameron Wisch, bassist Nick Wisch, and drummer Matt Embree. Their debut EP 'The Preppy EP' got some attention, and the single 'Over' became their breakout track, pulling in millions of streams and giving them a foothold in indie-pop circles.
Their first album 'SUNSET' came out in 2017, followed by 'In the Dark' which leaned into themes of heartbreak. You can hear their sound shift a bit on songs like 'Who's Got You Singing Again' and 'Cheapest Flight,' where they blend pop hooks with some R&B and hip-hop influences. They've worked with players like Cory Wong and Paul Jackson Jr. on tracks such as 'Line By Line.'
At one point they had legal disputes with a previous record label that left them in debt, which slowed things down. They did some independent touring and crowdfunding to get back on track. Their music keeps evolving, but they haven't lost that knack for writing melodies that stick.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
