Music by Parallel Lives “Blood Sweat & Fears”
Heavy hitting rock n roll with Christian values -- those are the
principals of the North Carolina power trio Parallel Lives. Although
the band formed a year ago, they have quite the resume – which
includes opening for former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon
Reavis and his current band, A Killer’s Confession, to headlining
the main stage at the famous Myrtle Beach Bike Week, to winning
the prestigious Camel City Bike Fest: Battle of the Bands. The trio
consists of Thomas Hardy (vocals, guitar), Jon Landress (vocals,
bass), and Blake Chappell (drums). The band started in 2022
when drummer Chappell met guitarist Hardy. The two messaged
back and forth on Instagram, deciding they wanted to give forming
a band a shot. The duo then found bassist Landress through
mutual friends, thus forming Parallel Lives.
ION Indie Magazine had the pleasure of sitting down with these
Carolina rockers for a one-on-one interview.
