The Parlotones are known for their electric, polished stage performances delivered against the backdrop of their deftly crafted and darkly romantic lyrics. Their sound, described as alternative in their formative years has evolved substantially becoming more refined and focused with each album. It took the bands debut album 'Radiocontrolledrobot' two years to reach Gold status and their follow up 'A World Next Door To Yours' achieved this in three months. Three months later the album was certified Platinum. Testimony to just how much the band has grown over the past few years.' A World Next Door To Yours' remained on the South African top 20 sales chart for more than twelve months and is currently South Africa's biggest selling rock album of this decade. The album spurned seven radio singles, a very unique situation.
