    Artist History
    Turned down major contracts from RCA and Motown Uk Previously known as Scatman PX, Howlin Horrors and The fabulous Mills Brothers. Parliament is a topical slab of throw-away pop; a contemporary commentary of modern political life and perhaps the darker side of girl power. Driven by a frenetic falling over drum pattern with power punk-pop guitars. Denny Mills sings of a women “ born to bring down parliament “ Bring down Parliament is backed with a softer side of Sir Lordy Self-Righteousness. “ Know “ and “ Y’blew my world away ” demonstrate Denny Mills obvious talent for intelligent and poignant lyrics combined with great tunes that have that instantly recognisable quality as if you’ve always known them. The three tracks together provide an introduction to the wider context of the forthcoming album “ Barker eggs and butter cups “

    Press Reviews
    So, the record already. Three tracks here. The title track "Bring down Parliament" starts off with loops that stutter and groan before the beats kick in spluttering and chattering to life. Then a big distorted vocal stands the tune back for a moment before irresistable big beats and rolling, distorted synth sounds lift you up. This is without doubt the best kickass-anti-government-love-song ever written. Oi! FatBoy Slim! Watch your back!Now Scatman PX( Sir Lordy ), he got heart, and you get to hear it on the next two tracks. "Y' blew my World Away" features Scatman PX booze'n'fags vocal over stripped down keyboards and strings, kinda like Rod Stuart or Joe Cocker (when they were good) meets the Manics at a late night lock-in. Beautiful. "Know" features that soulful vocal in a bare bones arrangement over chunky acoustic guitar with an ending to pull you up sudden. Worth buying for the beats and rhetoric of "Bring Down Parliament" alone, but "Y'blew my World Away" will stay stuck in your head like a song you have always known. Oh, yeah: top marks also for the cover, with Christine Keeler, Mata Hari, Marilyn Munroe and Monica "Cigar-chompin" Lewinsky on there.
