[edit] Treble Charger

Main article: Treble Charger

Bill Priddle was one of the first members of Treble Charger, along with Greig Nori, Rosie Martin and Morris Palter. Originally, the four of them called themselves "nc-17" (after the movie rating), until an American band of the same name had threatened to sue them, thus "Treble Charger" was born. However, they still called their first album nc-17. The group's first hit "Red" was written by Bill Priddle and was also re-recorded for their 1997 album Maybe It's Me. The second version seemed to be more of a success but wasn't posted as one because their first album "nc-17" was also re-released that same year.

At first, Treble Charger was an indie rock group until its 1997 album Maybe It's Me, which was the band's transition to pop punk. In 2001, Wide Awake Bored was their first official pop punk album. Bill Priddle was spotted without his glasses in 2001 and was never seen wearing them again.

In 2003, Bill Priddle left Treble Charger for good. He said that he left Treble Charger because punk rock "wasn't his style" and he claimed that he wanted to spend more time with his daughter. He officially left in September that year, earlier than expected because Nori told him to. He also left because Greig Nori wrote the songs when Treble Charger became a punk rock band. Priddle had been the composer when Treble Charger was an indie rock group.[citation needed]

[edit] The Priddle Concern

On May 6, 2008, Priddle released an album under the name The Priddle Concern.
