Parallax View

It's Rockin' a Little Harder Now!!!!!

About Me

MyGen Smashing Porcelina From the beginning...

Parallax View is in essence the culmination of its respective parts. Without each of its member’s own unique offerings the music would not take shape the way it does. We strive to be progressive and at the same time keep a very accessible rock sound that all can come to enjoy. Whether it be for the metal aspect, the musical aspects, or just because you caught one of our live performances and enjoyed the energy we try to transmit to our audiences; we continually try to bring that same level of power every time we pick up our instruments.

Recently Parallax View has been mentioned in the “Best of 2006” issue of the Harder Beat as one of the local bands to be on the watch for and Best Local Song (Looking Glass Self-“Rani”).

“Most definitely, Parallax View is a band to watch.” (Mark Beneventi of the Harder Beat)
