Sometimes, Pærish guitarist/vocalist Mathias Courtwill sit down in front of a movie, TV episode orvideo game and play around on his guitar. The ideais for him to capture and channel the emotion ofwhat he’s watching into music by what’s on thescreen. That’s exactly what happened during themaking of the Paris-based band’s second fulllength – and first with iconic label SideOneDummy – Fixed It All. Court was watching a video gamestream on Twitch when he heard a riff. He immediately stopped the Twitch channel, openedLogic Pro and songs started to emerge. That mightsound like an unusual process, but it makes sense.The three founding members of Pærish – Court,bassist Martin Dupraz and drummer Julien Louvion– met at film school in 2010. A few years later, guitarist Frédéric Wah joined. While he wasn’t atfilm school with the others, he’s also equallyobsessed with films.Pærish have made friends and toured with aplethora of high-profile American and Britishbands, from Sum 41 to Silversun Pickups, MooseBlood to Movements – something that’s practicallyunheard of for a French band to do in thealternative rock scene. It truly shows howtranscendental their music is, and how easily itcan break barriers that plenty of others have failedto break. You might think that would cause extrastress for the band, but it doesn’t – Pærish justwant to focus on themselves simply by pushingthemselves to improve with every song they write.
