About Me

Y'alright? This is our space and here are some songs.
Add us if you like them, and we'd love to see you at a gig. Promoters/venues/radio stations/magazines, don't hesitate to get in touch on here, it's just easier on myspace.
In a previous lineup we have already released an album, Out With The New, which is available on CD from selected independent record stores, our website or all the major digital retailers. Also released are three digital-only singles from said album, those being Master Yoga, critically acclaimed You Wouldn't Believe Me... If It Wasn't True and critically confused Infrared. All these releases were brought about via our own Parasite Stuff Recordings label.
We are currently working on our second album, and the first fruits of this work have already appeared on this very page. oh look!
The new single, Deja Vu is out now and got a nice review in Artrocker magazine.
For loads of other details mosey on down to www.parasiteofficial.co.uk .
Cheers! Parasite.
What the press said:
"think a gloomier Bloodhound Gang. sardonic, doom laden and mesmerising" - subba-cultcha.com
"more grimy electro-pop minimalism from subba faves Parasite" - subba-cultcha.com on Infrared
"Tumbling and chaotic rock that stumbles beneath the retro organs and thumping rhythm section. The Parasitical moniker gives the impression of something a little more gruesome, but this is a nice slice of late 60s psych-rock that's been given a post-punk reworking. Interesting enough to give a second spin." - Artrocker magazine (issue 88) on Deja Vu
"the death of music" - noizemakesenemies (looks like we did)
''sounds like a cuter Daft Punk with lyrics written in science class." Niamh Starky
"these are good parasites, like friendly bacteria, only bigger" MattCatt
"S'alright" Alex Minns
