The Parallelograms have a single out Cloudberry Records. The problem I have with this band is their name.... not that it's a bad name or anything. It reminds me of maths at school and that's never a good thing! I like this single already though so I'll let it off. The chorus is handsomely catchy. I don't even know know what that means..... It does does an awful lot like early Darling Buds but that's no bad thing as no one else is really sounding like them at the moment. I used to like the Darling Buds as well. I remember one of my mates got off with Andrea and I was well jealous.... still am in fact! Dream On Daisy is a smart catchy pop tune which will be cycling around your head in no time. More decent indie pop from Cloudberry!

The Parallelograms started in 2005 as a Rosehips tribute band. After a few gigs including The Rosehips
20th anniversary gig (for which they managed to get three of the original Rosehips on stage with them)
they started writing their own songs and thus The Parallelograms was born. Their influences are Talulah
Gosh, The Popguns, The Flatmates, The Shop Assistants, The Primitives and, of course, The Rosehips.
'Dream on Daisy' is their debut 7" and it's pure c86 indie pop heaven. The band previously released a split
7" with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart on Atomic Beat Records and a 3" cd single on Cloudberry.
Finally, and quite excitingly, Cloudberry have finally, finally released 'Dream On Daisy' by the sorely
missed Parallelograms. If you've never heard the Parallelograms, and I envy you the delight of discovery,
think The Rosehips, Talulah Gosh, the best bits of C86 and Subway records, girl vocals and more than a
touch of charm. You can listen to some stuff on their myspace, but you should probably rush over to
cloudberry and buy it right now. Who knows it might be worth a fortune one day. Even if it's not, if the
band sell enough of them, they might be able to pay Markie's airfare and get him to come back. You know
it makes sense.
The Parallelograms have split, but their music is still alive. Three more future bubblegum-punk classics
coming your way on one pretty 7". A worthy farewell indeed.
