On Episode 742 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, Bill will be joined by Fridge Rock/Pantry Punk band The Parishables in support of their upcoming music video release for the song "I'm Pissed Off." The story of The Parishables dates back to 1996 when frontman Brandon Parish and drummer EJ Novak first met in kindergarten, long before their dreams of performing in front of crowds ever took shape. During middle school, they picked up their instruments and formed their first band together, sparking their shared dream of making music. However, like many young projects, the band was short-lived, pushing them to develop their skills individually. EJ continued playing drums throughout high school, eventually forming bands and performing at local venues, though without major commercial success. Meanwhile, Brandon recorded original songs on cassette tapes and jammed with other small bands but eventually stepped away from the music industry, content to play on his own at home. Years later, fate reconnected the two musicians when EJ reached out to Brandon, who had recently reignited his passion for music after attending a Slipknot concert. The timing was perfect, and The Parishables were born out of their revived musical energy. In June 2024, Trevor Murray joined the band as their bassist, transforming The Parishables into a Fridge Rock/Pantry Punk trio. With 15 years of passion behind them, they are ready to share their unique sound and energy at venues near you. Tune in to this episode to hear more about their journey, the release of their music video, and their future plans!
