Nine Mile Records (www.ninemilerecords.com) presents Parlour Steps, a band that is creating something new: Thought-Rock! This is art-damaged beauty, music that is both stormy and playful; reflective of their west coast Canadian home of Vancouver. This is music that makes you move while making you think.
“Thieves of Memory” was chosen from over 15,000 entrants as a winner in the world renowned International Songwriting Competition (www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners.htm) , placing Parlour Steps, and in particular chief songwriter Caleb Stull, in the international spotlight.
