Parallax Faction defies being categorised in a specific genre. The band have a range of influences which permeates their music. This includes Electronic, Punk and Post-Punk, and also some Prog. Which led to the definition ‘Electro Prog Punk.’ Maybe that’s it!
In 2007 the band initially consisted of Ani Campbell (vocals, lyrics, composition) Iain Boyce (synths, programming, lyrics, programming, composition) and David Campbell (guitar, bass, lyrics, composition) with the addition of Danni Doonan (guitar) and Chris Coll on drums.
Chris was recruited to boost the live sound of the band and has been a solid addition.
Parallax Faction have released ‘Supersonic Weird 80’s Pub Music’. The album, which, is entirely DIY and homemade has been mixed and mastered and is available as a download at all good internet record emporiums.
The ‘Gossip Ganda EP’ is also ready for release. The EP deals with issues of propaganda and war with proceeds being donated to Warchild.
Back in 2007 Ani and Dave decided to do some music. Ani and Iain had worked together previously in a band called Fineline and this gave the project a good base to start from The first track ‘Presumed Dead Hero’ was recorded in Ani and Dave’s living room in November 2007. This was in collaboration with Johnny Organ who just so happened to have a track he wanted to record.
Over the years Parallax wrote and recorded more material and began to build enough for an album. Danni joined after being drafted in to record some guitar parts for tracks like ‘Dirty Bomb’, ‘Snowland’ and ‘His Name Is’ on what would become ‘Supersonic Weird 80’s Pub Music’. Dave had moved onto bass by this time.
Ani and Iain after 3 years of trying eventually persuaded Dave to play live and in February 2012 played their first gig. In 2013 Chris was asked to join for the band’s live gigs.
The band continues to write, record and play live. With the release of the album ‘Supersonic Weird 80’s Pub Music’ and The Gossip Ganda EP Parallax Faction has a solid foundation on which to build for the future.
