Parney are a 4 piece Alternative Rock band from Norwich, Suffolk whose style is similar to that of Sonic Youth, The Pixies, and even early Nirvana. They have the whole male/female co-singer thing going on which works extremely well, keeping a fresh and vibrant feel about the music.
With this EP the band show off their exciting sound with long and fascinating tunes which will capture your imagination and really begin to draw you in. The guitars here seem to have immense power, with the band really driving them full force and the drumming is also astonishing with a fast pace that will have you tapping your feet and have you well and truly fixated on the music. Parney are extremely talented musicians that sure have a fine ear for great music that will really capture you whatever you happen to be doing sat that moment, and force you to listen to their incredible music. I love the way that the male and female vocals are used and in some cases becoming intertwined 0 it just seems to work incredibly well and gives it a unique feel to it. These three tracks are all extremely special as Parney are a unique Rock band that strive to keep grunge alive while at the same time they are developing a sound which is something just a bit different, making it new, interesting, and bags of fun to listen to!
Whether you are in to Alt Rock or Grunge, you are sure to love this band as they are just such a great bunch of musicians who have chosen not to follow a trend, in fact they even seem to be trying to start up a trend of their own in some of the most inspirational music I have ever heard. Unique bands in the UK seem to be splitting up left, right and centre so Parney being in existence shows us that there is still hope for the UK scene – Parney are a ray of sunshine in a cave of monotonous sound alike bands.
