About Me

ParaFernalia hit the scene a few years ago.Our philosophy is to make original fresh different music and enjoy ourselves too. . . .............. "Noisy, girly punk. ParaFernalia's 'Weekend Anarchist' is snotty, in-your-face, lo-fi garage-punk, full of menace and tinny distorted guitars. Its catchy simplicity harks back to the dawn of American punk, in the early seventies. Good, simple, clever, aggressive fun."The National Student (Fresher Sounds Volume 2)Free CD 2005. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ......................" ParaFernalia are a London based punk band fronted by enigmatic Mel Dawkins. Their singe 'Weekend Anarchist' about hedonistic times is out now. witty noisy fun." NME (unsigned bands special) August 2005 ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................NEW ALBUM OUT SOON!
