PVRIS FAQs
How do you pronounce PVRIS and what does it mean?
+PVRIS is pronounced like 'Paris' - the French city. A lot of people get confused and try to pronounce it like 'P-V-R-I-S' but it's definitely just 'Paris.' The band originally started as 'Operation Guillotine' but had to change their name for legal reasons, and they settled on PVRIS as a stylized version of Paris.
What is Lynn Gunn's real name and background?
+Lynn Gunn's real name is Lyndsey Gerd Gunnulfsen, and she was born on March 15, 1994, making her 30 years old. She's from Lowell, Massachusetts, and actually almost went to MassArt after high school but decided to pursue music instead - which obviously worked out really well for her. She's the main creative force behind PVRIS.
Is PVRIS still a band or just Lynn Gunn now?
+This is probably the most asked question! PVRIS is now essentially Lynn Gunn's solo project, though she still uses the band name. She revealed around 2020 that she had always been the sole creative force behind PVRIS - writing, producing, and creating everything herself. The other members have left over the years, and Lynn now performs with touring musicians rather than permanent band members.
What happened to the other PVRIS members?
+The original lineup included guitarist Alex Babinski, bassist Brian MacDonald, and drummer Brad Griffin. Over time, members gradually left - most recently drummer Justin Nace departed in January 2020. Lynn has been pretty diplomatic about it, saying it was related to PVRIS evolving into her vision as the primary creative force. There don't seem to be any major conflicts, just natural changes as the project became more centered around Lynn.
What vocal problems did Lynn Gunn have?
+Around 2018, Lynn went through some serious vocal issues that affected her touring and performance. She had to basically relearn how to sing and work with vocal coaches. The good news is that it wasn't anything physically wrong with her voice - it was more about technique and some 'vocal kinks' she had developed. She's been pretty open about the struggle and has since recovered and sounds better than ever.
What genre is PVRIS and how has their sound changed?
+PVRIS started as a metalcore band but evolved into more of an electronic alternative rock/pop-rock sound. Lynn's latest work has been even more experimental and genre-fluid - she's said she refuses to be tied down to one specific genre. Their newer stuff has more electronic elements, pop sensibilities, but still maintains that alternative edge. It's definitely evolved a lot from their heavier early days.
What are PVRIS's most popular songs?
+Some of their biggest hits include 'White Noise,' 'St. Patrick,' 'You and I,' 'Heaven,' and 'Burn It All Down.' 'White Noise' from their debut album was really what put them on the map, and songs like 'You and I' and 'Heaven' have been fan favorites. Their sound has evolved quite a bit, so different eras of PVRIS have different standout tracks.
Is Lynn Gunn dating anyone or married?
+Lynn keeps her personal life pretty private, but she's been open about her sexuality and has identified as queer/LGBTQ+. She's been in relationships that she's occasionally mentioned in interviews, but she doesn't really put her dating life in the spotlight. She seems to prefer keeping the focus on her music rather than her personal relationships.
What is PVRIS working on now in 2025?
+Lynn recently released an album called 'EVERGREEN' which showed her really stepping into her role as the sole creative force behind PVRIS. She's been pretty active with new music and has talked about refusing to let others dictate her artistic direction anymore. She's also been more involved in the production and business side of things, finally getting proper credit for all the work she puts into PVRIS.
