Meaning bandname: PCP is named after a drug (originally an anesthetic and tranquillizer but later very popular on the street)

History: In 1996, Maynard and Oene from FLEAS AND LICE decided to form another band after they came back from touring in the U.S and Canada. Annette (ex-VIKTORS HOFNARREN) came to sing and Rob (ex-CHRONICORE) was found for the bass. After a small German tour, the singer and bassplayer left, and were replaced by Pelle as bassplayer (NO I.D.) and Janick (FIERCE) from Canada as a singer. After a Skandinavian tour Janick moved back to Canada and is replaced by two new singers. Also the drummer got replaced and an extra guitarplayer got added. In April 2002 both Esther and Rommert leave the band. In May, 10 songs are recorded in the Kuschelrock Studio in Bremen. In July Richard (of Burn The Elite) got added as a 2nd guitarplayer. In January 2003 Leon becomes 2nd vocalist and Richard leaves the band. In March 2004 a new CD appears called "Revelations" on the french label Musique Canard.

Lyrics: personal and political topics in particular about technology, power and vegetarism.
