Public Disgrace is a North Carolina rock and roll band, formed (as "The Roaming Spiders") in 2004. Stephen Smith, an electrical engineering major at N.C. State provides electric guitar, while Nathan Walker, an advertising major at Appalachian State, provides vocals and drums (and sometimes bass).

Musically, Public Disgrace doesn't exactly fit in a niche most people can easily define. As Nathan Walker puts it, they are "modern blues punkpop," a kind of Tom Petty meets Led Zeppelin.

They generally exist as a recording band, and their album will be out on iTunes and Amazon MP3 by around July 16.
