The Parasocials are all about taking leaps of faith.

After worldwide success with our debut disco jazz hit, we've taken a leap of faith and changed up our style. If you're into unpalatable 10-minute progressive songs then you don't want to miss out on our gig on the 14th of December at the Victoria, Dalston.

Fans, Fans, Fans.

Where would we be without them?
The Parasocials would be homeless and sweatier than a nun in a cucumber field.

Our fan club finances the Parasocials' lavished lifestyles of S*x, Drugs, and Sotboi Jazz Punk.

We boys love to take it, but we also like to give it. That's why we've re-invested your money into Parasocial lighters with bottle openers.

Calling all fans to Paper Dress Vintage on the 20th of June. We'll light your fire with a limited number of free lighters at the gig.
The luscious and will be playing. We're big fans and can't wait to share the stage with them!
Get your tickets in the bio before they sell out x

A huge thank you to everyone who has checked out our album 'Living Between the Wars', so far. As a band we've been blown away by the kind words, personal reviews, and yes, even flowers we've received.

It may surprise (and alarm) you to know that this album is just the beginning and we have recently been in the studio with renowned audio wizards and and there are in fact MORE tunes on the way

Keep feasting yer ears on the album, and while you're waiting feast your eyes on these amazing snaps from the all-talented

Until then peace...

What's that tomer is pointing to? Is that our new ALBUM perchance? Out today on streaming you say?!

THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS

For all the cheapskates who haven't purchased the album off bandcamp (you're on the list dad) our new album, LIVING BETWEEN THE WARS, is now available on Spotify, Apple music and most importantly MySpace.

You can now hear the Parasocial magnum opus in all its 16 track glory, while listening to ads for squarespace and betterhelp in between, thus solidifying the themes of capitalist realism.

The link is in the bio unless I forget to add it

I know what you guys are thinking, what's with all the insane and generous parasocial content that has been flooding the internet recently?! It's not because the weather's been alright and it's not because my Adderall prescription just got topped up, it's because...

Well I don't know but anyway the PARASOCIALS WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE!!!!

Started by the web genius George Zuckerberg back in 2022, the site has lain dormant like ebola waiting for the right time to go viral...Tomer rediscovered it a few weeks ago, ran it through a spell checker and we are good to go.

We've got a homepage, we've got an EPK, we've got very up-to-date listings on what gigs we're doing, we've got a bio page so you can look into the very accurate backstory of your favourite parasocial (rob).

Sure, it's still got a few issues, the old girl creaks abit when jumping from page to page, if you click on the eye something very random happens and frankly you do not want to try and run this bad boi on your phone unless you want to experience what Salvia Divonorum feels like...but overall it is a website and we will be improving it soon (2027)

Let us know what you think!!! (And if any web design people wanna come and fix it DM me)

PEOPLE OF THE ECHO-CHAMBER AND BEYOND;
WE HAVE A NOT-SO-SUBTLE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YOUR JUICY EARHOLES

The Parasocials have been slaving away, scraping the empty band fund barrel to make our debut, self produced album ‘Living Between The Wars’.

Whilst it is outside of our stringent and successful business plan that is destined to make us rich and famous... we have decided to quietly release the album because we are properly proud of what we’ve done and want to share it with the world before we double down and embark on our ‘new sound’ (co***ne). It's time for our baby to leave the roost, get a job and f**k off onto its own life in the graveyard of unstreamed music that is the internet. This is the story of living between the wars…

OUT NOW ON BANDCAMP!!! FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO BUY (YES YOU MOTHER) PLEASE DO SO, OTHERWISE FOR EVERYONE ELSE (I.E. POOR PEOPLE I.E. MOST PEOPLE NOWADAYS) IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON STREAMING IN GOOD TIME!!!

SUPPORT YOUR ARTISTS !!! WE WONT JUST SPEND IT ON BOOZE WE PROMISE

A huge thanks to:

- engineer, producer and overall hero

- mastering engineer extraordinaire

- helping us set up the mic

- stepping in for ed when he got COVID

Marco - couldn't find you on insta but you did good kid

- letting us use your studios (if somewhat fraudulently)

- artwork assistance (not sure how much

Merry Winterval from your favourite band, the post-christmas-paralytics.

We've had a wonderful year regaling you with songs, spreading the word of the lord, and unfortunately spreading a particularly viruletic form of VD (named the Slandromeda strain)

We're all particularly busy this season, has caught the train up north to his native Valhalla, currently debating Brexit with his step-dad Odin, has very kindly volunteered at a soup kitchen in Cambridge (as a homeless person), is making his bi-annual trip to Thailand and as for ... no one is quite sure where he's gone..

Stay safe, stay broke, and stay festive, The Parasocials return next year for more gigs, more riffs, more tunes and most importantly more credit card debt

THE PARASOCIALS NEED YOU!!!

That's right laddo

YOU

Due to the ravages of poverty and long ebola we've lost a wonderful band for our headline gig next week on the 14th

We're looking for up and coming young song strummers to open for one of London's most popular bands (citation needed)

This is basically like the X factor, but instead of Simon Cowbell you got screaming at you during soundcheck to play more Phrygian

Any interested bands slide into our DMs, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship...
