Editor's note

The Parlotones, South Africa's melodic rock storytellers

A Johannesburg band that built a catalog of personal, guitar-driven songs over two decades.

For a sense of their sound, start with 'I'm Only Human' and 'Soul And Body.' Both have that clean, melodic guitar work and direct lyrics they built their name on.

They emerged from the South African scene in the mid-2000s with songs that felt both local and universal. 'I'm Only Human' from their 2007 debut 'Radio Controlled' became a straightforward rock anthem that connected with listeners. Their catalog, including tracks like 'Soul And Body' and 'We Call This Dancing,' shows a consistent knack for melodic rock with direct emotional weight.

They formed in Johannesburg in 2003 and spent early years playing shows around South Africa. The 2007 debut 'Radio Controlled' brought wider attention, and they followed with albums like 'Stardust Galaxies' in 2009 and 'Antipodes' in 2017. Drummer Neil Pauw left in 2010, but they kept writing songs like 'Push Me To The Floor' and 'Brave and Wild.'
