As unique as a two headed kitten in a jar on the shelf of a back alley curiosity shop The Parish Music Box is all about the melody, place and story. Pulling off familiar and unique, they nibble round the edges of Tindersticks, The Smiths, Lambchop and some of Nick Cave’s lighter moments.

Hailing from locations as exotic as Nashville, Belfast, Bristol, Norwich and ahem, Wolverhampton, The Parish Music Box ply their trade as purveyors of music and once described as unique as two headed kitten in a jar on the shelf of a back alley!

They are a potent mix of pathos, harmonies, beautifully turned phrases and acoustic guitars that deserves to be lauded throughtout the land.

The Parish Music Box promo shot
Mellow and Massive all at once. Humorous wistful and very, very British, the bands lyrical twists and turns win praise from many quarters. If 60’s serial killers, 70’s TV and 80’s vinyl are your thing and the 90’s was one long bad head in the morning then there’s much to enjoy here.
