The Parasocials and the run into the fire imagery of "Deadzone"

 

"we are atoms clinging to atoms dying to feel good..."

Falling into the downward spiral of "Deadzone" by London based The Parasocials and I can't help but smile because the dense musical narration, cinematic and dark, sneaks up on you. It starts like a group of passengers driving towards danger at least that is the sense I feel. Love the vox with a primary lead vocalist with constant backing support. The cagey jammy music with sort of blues punk underpinnings and dozen's of quotable lyrical gems that hang in the air is an exercise in brooding and bad assery. I love when the spoken word happens as the head bopping bass and drums anchors the track in cement as lead guitars build tension. There are weird shifts and sort of proto punkian atmospheres and I thought of a weird amalgam of artists like Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Misfits, Golden Earing, Midnight Oil and Johnny Thunders. 

Ride into the void, the "Deadzone" is penned by Felix Slander, the Parasocials very own Byronic anti-hero, with an aim to capture a particular feeling of languor and trepidation.
