To fill in the blanks, if you were looking for the next band to take the world by storm, look no further than Sacramento-based band, The Proles. With their brand new line-up, featuring a dual-vocal assault and infectious harmonies, this band hopes to re-invent themselves and start a scene unto themselves.

The Proles are a Sacramento-based trio that have been causing quite a stir in the Sacramento Valley and Bay Area since their inception in 2000. After releasing their debut CD, 'Index,' the band received rave reviews from across the United States for their angular pop and songwriting sensibilities.

'Good In Black & White,' the band's sophomore album, was released to critical acclaim and was picked as an Editor's music pick on CD BABY for two weeks straight. 

The Proles have opened for numerous national acts including The Killers, Grandaddy, John Doe, Quasi, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Datsuns, Pleasure Forever, Mike Watt, The Mother Hips, Elefant, The Raveonettes, and countless others.

Their debut was serviced to CMJ's Top 300 stations and received considerable airplay (even charting on KEXP's coveted Top 60 list!).
