Biography
While today's rock trends lean towards heavy, melodic guitar lines, swirling synths, stylized screams and a larger-than-life presence enhanced by studio embellishments, Parkour dares to be different. A band displaced ten years out of its element. Parkour thrives on the rough-edged low-fi indie rock that came out of the 90s. Started by former This Radiant Boy Bassist, Marcello De Feo, the band's songs show strong ties to his musical upbringing. Elements of Jawbreaker, Pavement, Edsel, The Promise Ring, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Garrison should be noticeable.
One should note that, as the open-minded SeraphSilhouett pointed out, there is a bit of confusion in this biography. As she stated Parkour is "not different." Some clarification might be necessary. Where the bio reads "Dares to be different," it insinuates that the band might be pushing the envelope or sailing in uncharted waters. In truth, Parkour's music is merely more comparable to the college rock that came out in the mid-'90s than it is to today's rock.
The band's catalog will not blow away listeners. These are not songs to expand your mind. These are merely songs that were fun to write and play. Hopefully, they are fun to listen to as well.
The band consists/consisted of current/former members of the following bands: This Radiant Boy, Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start, Pink Humpy, Beazley Phillips Band, Elian, Latka.
