The Parlour Band

about

THE PARLOUR BAND were a Progressive Melodic/Hard Rock band from the Channel Island of Jersey. They signed to the Decca progressive imprint label, Deram and recorded their debut album 'Is A Friend?' in 1972. Later the band changed their name and musical style towards a more American 'AOR' Rock sound and became A BAND CALLED "O" releasing a self-titled album in 1974 and 'Oasis' in 1975. They then changed their name to THE O BAND and released 'Within Reach' in 1976 and their final album, 'The Knife' in 1979. Parlour Band was formed when vocalist/keyboard player/songwriter Peter Filleul and a local Jersey hard rock band joined forces. Combining Filleul's love of Beatlesque lush melodies and the band's love of American westcoast hard edged rock, they were both a psychedelic pastoral pop band and a heavy progressive group. Every song is masterful, filled with great melodies, fantastic interplay, rich soaring flowing textures of guitars and keyboards, and the vocals -- especially harmonies are really good.
