New Jersey-based rock band, The Parlor Mob, have shared “Someday,” the new single from their forthcoming album, Dark Hour (out August 16). The release is a fiery, arena-sized track laced with engaging beats and booming guitar riffs. The group have unveiled the accompanying music video today as well.

The Parlor Mob drive rock music off its usual path and into new territory altogether, and their new album is a clear reflection of this adventurous spirit. On their upcoming full-length debut for Brittania Row Recordings/BMG, the group synthesizes raw and robust musicality with cinematic production, sonically pushing boundaries and recharging rock ‘n’ roll musicality through a lens of 21st century production.
“We aimed to add modern perspective to old school musicality,” says lead vocalist, Mark Melicia. “We asked ourselves, ‘How can we bring rock ‘n’ roll into the current zeitgeist, so it reflects what’s going on in other genres?’ We embraced dynamics, tones, synthesizers and textures more synonymous with hip-hop or R&B production than rock. The duality extends to the lyrics. We were exploring the idea that light and darkness run through everything and exist for everybody. On all of the songs, darkness outlines the light moments as hope and light outline the dark portions.”
The Parlor Mob’s new album was also produced by Brittania Row founder and GRAMMY® Award-winning powerhouse, Malay (Frank Ocean, ZAYN), who was so floored by the band’s music and vision that he immediately signed them and hit the studio to begin working with the group.
“Malay is from a completely different musical world than we are,” Mark elaborates. “On paper, it’s strange for a guy who mostly does pop and R&B to work with a rock band, but there was incredible synchronicity between us. We met the right dude who could take us where we need to go and someone we could grow with. It was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time.”
This fall, The Parlor Mob will hit Louisville, KY for Louder Than Life Festival on September 28, and Sacramento, CA for Aftershock Festival on October 12. The band will also be announcing a fall headline run soon. Stay tuned for more news to come.
