The Public was formed in 2003 by drummer Bryan Besse and guitarist Jack Champagne with the singular goal of creating a band they wanted to listen to. Singer/guitarist Travis Shuler soon joined the lineup and the trio began working on a few songs inspired by 60's pop, 70's glam, 80's UK goth/post-punk, and 90's Britpop.
A few months later, with The Public's first show already booked, bassist Ryan Plattsmier joined just in time to complete the group before they hit the stage. An EP was self-released shortly afterwards titled We Are The Public and the band has since played many successful shows in their hometown of New Orleans and around the U.S.
Saturn Missile Battery, their independently produced first full-length, was released March 2005. Look for a new full-length from five03, No Love Is Permanent later this year!
