The Parlor Mob - First Week Digital Sales News

Another Roadrunner first.

We released our first album digitally prior to a physical release with The Parlor Mob's AND YOU WERE A CROW with great initial success. Although on the surface this number may seem low what is incredible is that this band is literally starting from ground zero. No previous touring, no previous releases, no real fan base outside of Red Bank, NJ and we sold over 600 albums in their first week of release.


Check out some quotes from iTunes where the average rating was "5 Stars":

"I saw this band twice at SXSW and this is by far the best band I have seen live. That's a BIG statement, as I have seen thousands of band's live - but this band plays twice as good live as they do on the album - and they sound great on this album. I'd rate this album with 6 stars if I could"

"This album blindsided me because I had never heard of them. Just think Wolfmother but instead of 4 good songs, the entire album is awesome"

"Could Easily be mistaken for a new White Stripes CD" -

"WOW, This band right here gives me confirmation I needed that everything in the rock genre won't just be pop rock or punk rock and can actually be good! Definitely buying this"

"First time I've ever heard of them. I feel sort of left out now. White Stripes meets Led Zeppelin"

"Music speaks for itself. Shit is Legit"


Some hard facts to know:
The band has been on tour with Nicole Atkins for the last month and the tour ends at the end of this month.
We have a Residency Tour in the works starting in late April. Markets to include Boston, Philly, DC, NYC, Burlington, VT, Baltimore.
Band is CONFIRMED for LOLLAPALOOZA this Summer.
We will have a video for "Cant Keep No Good Boy Down", along with an EPK , by Mid April .
