The Self-Proclaimed Rockstars are five guys who grew up and currently live in the same Boston suburb that provides the backdrop for many of their songs. Their music conveys both their desire to escape the suburban complacency they see all around them and their belief that everyone should be able to proclaim themselves as the type of person that they believe themselves to be. The members of SPR are your teacher, your banker, your coach, your ice-cream-maker, and your (whatever the hell James does), but they have proclaimed themselves ‘rockstars’ because they are at their happiest when they are playing energetic rock and roll for awesome people.
