Source-derived summary

Public Relations was a Czech electronic rock band formed in Ostrava in 2004. They sang both in Czech and English, releasing six studio albums and one EP and breaking up in 2022.

History

Public Relations was formed in the Czech city of Ostrava in 2004. Initially playing emocore and rap rock, they released their debut album, No Turns, in 2008. They followed it with The Platinum Air in 2011. Their next release, Reset, came out in 2013 and shifted the band's style to electronic rock. In 2016, Public Relations published the concept album named Sirael.

The band's next record, Překonej svůj strach, released in 2020, was the last with vocalist Jan "Comar" Ražnok, who had been with Public Relations since 2013. He was replaced by Přemysl Weber, who left after six months, however, and his place was taken by David Tobi Tobiasz. In 2022, the band released the album Naděje, which consisted of 12 new versions of songs from their previous three records, all sung in Czech.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as czech rock band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15249739. VIAF identifies the subject as 129921350. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2022, 2008 and 2011.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
