YEARS ACTIVE: 2010 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
Can't find the lyrics to "The Catalyst" anywhere on the net so I'm not totally sure what the song is about exactly, The definition for catalyst is a person or thing that precipitates an event or change so take that for what it's worth. I assume who he's singing about in the song is the "catalyst" for something.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE PURPS:
The Purps formed as a band back in 2010, hailing from Michigan. Originally, the band went under the name Purple Nightmare. Their debut album was called "Music Is Dead". I'm not l00% sure if the album was released in 2010, 2011 or 2012. I think it can only be found on the band's website. Their second album, "Melodrama Radio, was released in 2013. By the end of 2013, beginning of 2014, the band officially began calling themselves The Purps. The first album released as The Purps was 2017's "Let's Re-Tox". That album is also the band's most recent release. I guarantee I found out about The Purps through the DyingScene blog. They are just a straight forward punk rock band. "Let's Re-Tox" is a pretty solid album so these guys have some chops for sure. There has been no word as to whether they are going to release new music but they have played live shows as recently as 2023 so they're still kicking! Perhaps something is on the horizon.. hopefully!
