Per Diem

Per Diem is up-tempo, listenable hard rock/metal. The vocals are aggressively driving to illustrate the passion of the stories that make up the songs.

With Per Diem, it’s not personal, just business. Cliché? YES, but this Detroit band is getting ready to compete. For Paul and Jeff, they are at a point in their lives where it’s time to get things done. And for Jeff, it’s time to speak his mind.

Lead singer Jeff Karczewski states, “To me, it’s honestly just like sports…we’re the team gunning for those at the top.”

Per Diem is going to challenge everything because it needs to happen. Karczewski states, “Too many bands/artists are making a mockery of the system…where is the integrity in the music industry if crap bands and artists get all the attention? I respect the individuals who have worked very hard to attain a level of success in the rap/hip hop and rock communities, but that doesn’t mean I can’t challenge them if I don’t agree with their message, or I think they are weak. I think it’s time to expect far more out of artists. There are important issues that need to start getting talked about, like how our government, along with corporate America, are together ruining this economy, allowing wealth to move to China, India and other countries in the name of greed. The terrible poverty and sadness in Ethiopia needs to be handled. Issues surrounding toxic water and food are seriously affecting Americans' health. I don’t care if other artists or industry people scoff at me and the band…I know I’m doing the right thing.”

Musically, Per Diem is led by Paul Adams. Paul directs all aspects surrounding the writing, recording, production and performance. He is very confident in his talent. Critics will say that the greatest rock bands of all time (Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Nirvana) had all members contributing together, thus making it “special.” However, aren’t results all that matter? At this time, musically, Per Diem is using this very focused approach under the guidance of Paul Adams to work with dozens of songs. In the future, Paul is not opposed to collaborating with musicians for songwriting.

Per Diem is actively recruiting the right members for the band. Industry professionals will not have to worry about budgeting for musicians.

All in all, Per Diem’s vision is to have their sound translate into an intense live experience for the fans. Per Diem has a very focused and professional attitude to the job at hand. The music industry professionals that choose to work with Per Diem will not be let down.
