Their new studio album "Stand Like Giants" will be released on May 30th via earMUSIC and is one of the band's finest to date. The new studio album perfectly encapsulates the powerful sound and meaningful, uplifting lyrics that have enchanted hundreds of thousands of Parlotones fans around the world and have made them the biggest selling rock band of all time in South Africa.

With single leading into single the listener will be transported into an endless succession of powerful, memorable and richly textured, meaningful hits. In a world where albums consist of obligatory singles accompanied with filler tracks, "Stand Like Giants" stands out as a modern day classic filled with a collection of spectacular tracks each complimenting the next.
The opening track and first single "Sleepwalker" blends all the elements of a radio enforced stadium anthem complete with all-encompassing sing along choruses and a good dose of oh-oh-oh-oh. "Slow Assassination" is a reinforcement of the bands strong social responsibility initiatives and highlights the effect humanity is having on the planet in a way that makes you want to dance towards a solution.
"Spellbound" continues the journey with its dreamlike synths tapping into the bands inner Depeche Mode. Another outstanding stadium anthem is the 4th. track "Shake it Up," with influences drawn from the heyday of alternative music channeling the alternative legends of the past. By the fifth track "Never Stand Alone" you will be reaching into your pocket for that lighter. The track erupts into an emotional crescendo and you are lifted up to a euphoric plane where you believe that you "will never stand alone."
The title track "Stand Like Giants" is an ode for the world we live in, emphasising themes of unity and overcoming all that stands in our way. It is the kind of track that you can visualise unifying thousands under a single objective and overcoming whatever stands in our way.
"Sympathise With The Cost" will remind you why you fell in love with The Parlotones in the first place with its deep thought provoking lyrics and beautiful melodies delivered by a symphony of strings. The album begins its conclusion with "Powerful" the first of 3 staple Parlotones tracks, encompassing the sound and uplifting lyrics that have enchanted hundreds of thousands of Parlotones fans around the world and have made them the biggest selling rock band of all time in South Africa, while "Chinese Vase" taps into the deep and solemn world of Nick Cave with a melancholy but beautiful stroll into an emotional world. "Songs Of Whales" will jerk you back to reality with a beat and riff that just makes you want to move, as you get drawn into the sing along chorus.

About The Parlotones:
The Parlotones have cemented their reputation as a fiery force to be reckoned with onstage. Fans are confronted with the sight of powerfully expressive frontman Kahn Morbee leading the band — which also includes guitarist Paul Hodgson, bassist Glen Hodgson, and drummer Neil Pauw — to soaring emotional heights. The Parlotones have crafted the kind of melody-minded arena-filling songs that transcend language and culture barriers.

The multi-platinum selling Johannesburg-bred quartet have headlined the 20,000-seater Coca Cola Dome in their hometown in 2009, performed at the World Cup Kick-off Concert to an audience of a billion in 2010, and were handpicked by Coldplay to open the British band's stadium shows in Johannesburg and Cape Town in 2011. Over the years, they have raised funds and awareness for a variety of social and environmental organizations, lending their high profile to initiatives such as Live Earth, Earth Hour, The South African Broadcasting Corporation's Carbon Free campaign, Nelson Mandela's 46664, and Live Earth's Run for Water, among others.
