A Little About Who We Are...
Dangerous Parallel is a DIY political punk/hardcore band from Long Island, New York. It is difficult to describe their sound without hearing them. The best way to describe them would be "old school hardcore meets street style punk". The vocals range from semi-harmonic to screaming to group sing alongs. They have a unique exciting sound that is full of energy. Their live shows are amazing and full of energy. They can really get a crowd going!!!
"We promote positive, independent thinking of all people. Ignorance is not an option in our minds." -Evan Angry
Dangerous Parallel started back in the spring of 1998 when Evan Angry and Jamie met in the basement of a taco store. That summer the band picked up Mark Biff and Nick, a fill in drummer from The Lofers. They played their first show in the back yard of a kids house with The Kevin Garcils Tribute Band (a punk cover band that formed into The Lofers). In the fall of that same year they picked up Tim Parallel who became the official drummer. In the spring of '99 Jamie decided he would leave the band suddenly in the middle of a show for personal reasons. After Jamie left Dangerous Parallel added Ian Lofer (former singer from The Lofers). In the fall of '99 Tim Parallel decided to leave the band because he wanted to do other things. DP then added Tom Prozak as their new drummer, which brings them to their current line up... Evan Angry (Guitar/vocals), Ian Lofer (Guitar/vocals), Mark Biff (Bass), Tom Prozak (Drums).
