Artist History "You can crash your car out on the highway of lost souls, or you can bet your life on rock and roll." With this bold statement from it's epic "President's War," Raleigh, North Carolina's Parklife declares the root of its musical ambition while capturing the essence of why generations have found meaning, belonging and transcendence in the power of rock and roll. Parklife came together in the winter of 2002 when singer/bassist Rob Clay and guitarist Sam Clowney began jamming with guitarist/keyboardist John Heames and drummer Jason Bone in the same Chapel Hill rehearsal space once frequented by Ben Folds Five, Ryan Adams and Superchunk. The band quickly took its energetic, melodic rock music to stages throughout the southeast and into the studio, where the band recorded its debut CD "Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam" with Grammy-nominated producer John Custer. The four songs on "Lonely Eyes" capture the full spectrum of the band's music, from the modern rock energy of "Butterflies and Hurricanes" and "Gone in October" to the anthemic Brit-rock of "President's War" to the ambient sonic landscapes of "San Jacinto." The CD was met with critical and fan praise and the band quickly hit the road to support the record, earning opening slots with Wilco and Better Than Ezra and helping Parklife grow its audience with every energetic, inspiring show
