For Greenville, NC based Parmalee, endless hours behind their instruments,
shameless self promotion, and an “all or nothing” attitude are just a few
attributes that helped bring this family of musicians from the obscurities of a
small southern town. Parmalee’s music supplies vicious riffs with unforgettable
melodies, bridging a hybrid sound from killer 70's and 80's anthemic rock to
today’s no holds barred, garagy sounds with unforgettable sing along
melodies.
Parmalee consist of four guys who came together in late 2001
with one thing in mind....to write and play their brand of guitar driven rock
music to anyone who would listen. Their sound quickly formed into it’s own, as
singer Matt Thomas’ distinctive vocal sound took the forefront. Realizing that
they complimented each others singing, Guitarist Josh McSwain and Bassist Barry
Knox quickly found ways to compliment Matt’s vocals, inciting the creation of
Parmalee’s trademark three-part harmonies and “Big” Choruses. With the vocals
covered, the guys now looked to their instruments to complete the equation.
Josh’s vicious riffs accompanied by Matt’s rhythmic phrasing proved to be what
the band needed for their dual guitar attack, while the rhythm section was
quickly cemented by drummer Scott Thomas and bassist Barry Knox’s ability to tap
into each other’s playing styles.
Already having won
over crowd after crowd on the road, Parmalee has proven themselves to be one of
the premier rock acts in the Southeast. Knowing this, there is no doubt that if
you have a chance to see Parmalee’s live show, you WILL get it!
