02 In Conflict

Parallax Faction – Glasgow, Scotland.
 
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, 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 are on the brink of releasing their debut album ‘Supersonic Weird 80’s Pub Music’. The album, which, is entirely DIY and homemade has been mixed and mastered. 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 the band Fineline and this gave the project a sound start. The first track ‘Presumed Dead Hero’ was recorded in Ani and Dave’s living room on a cold Saturday afternoon at the begining of 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 was asked join after recording the guitar parts for the tracks ‘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 Parallax Faction played their first gig. In 2013 Chris was asked to join for the band’s live gigs. And to give the band the boost that their live sound demanded.
 
The band continues to write, record and play live. With the imminent release of the album and EP Parallax Faction has a solid base to build on for the future and look forward to scaring audiences wherever they play.
