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 whatever 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. SPR's songs share a common theme- they're aggressive, gritty songs about frustrations with the "normal" environment they hail from, but they're also fun and almost perversely upbeat. The Self-Proclaimed Rockstars know that they aren't rockstars yet, since life reminds them of it every day. Instead, they're Self-Proclaimed Rockstars, and proud of it.
