Parmalee has come a long way from "Studio B." That's the nickname the four musicians gave a family friend's tiny barn, where they would practice with dreams of graduating from farm to fame.
"The barn is in Parmale, NC, near our homes, and every one of the 250 or so people who live in the town could hear us. We quit playing at 11:00 PM to be considerate and not get shut down," says lead singer Matt Thomas. "That barn in Parmale is where this band was born, so we thought there couldn't be a better name than Parmalee. We added the extra 'e' to help people pronounce it. It worked for Boston, Chicago and Alabama -- why not Parmalee?"
The band, which also includes Matt's brother Scott on drums, cousin Barry Knox on bass guitar and friend Josh McSwain on guitar, developed a following in the Carolinas and quickly became a hot act to book in local clubs. But their rise to stardom almost came crashing down after a horrifying incident in the fall of 2010. Parmalee had just played a gig in Rock Hill, S.C., when two armed men stormed their RV and tried to rob them. When one of the culprits pointed a gun at Matt, Scott grabbed his own gun. A shootout followed, and the Parmalee drummer was shot three times. He shot back at the robbers, killing one of them and wounding the other. After a medically induced coma and multiple surgeries, Scott is now thankfully fully recovered. He faced no charges in the shooting, as it was a clear case of self defense.
Parmalee, who describe their sound as "the country side of rock," is signed to Nashville's Stoney Creek Records, also home to Thompson Square and Randy Houser, among others. Their debut album for the label is expected in the coming months. The first taste of the project is the infectious "Musta Had a Good Time," which was recently voted the No. 1 song on Sirius/XM radio station the Highway's Top 30 countdown.
"'Musta Had a Good Time' describes that one epic party that all of us have either been to -- or hope to go to -- at some point in our lives," says Matt. "It's that one party that becomes a legend in a small town. The response that we get from fans when we play this song live is crazy -- the fans know all the words and everyone's dancing, and it becomes a party on stage and in the crowd. We're finding out that there's a lot of people out there who really like to have a good time."

PARMALEE MAKES OFFICIAL COUNTRY RADIO DEBUT WITH DOUBLE DIGIT ADDS
FANS VOTE “MUSTA HAD A GOOD TIME” #1
ON SiriusXM THE HIGHWAY’S “THE HOT 30 LIVE”
NASHVILLE, TN -- Stoney Creek Records’ latest signing, Country Rock band Parmalee has already earned its first #1 single. On Friday, July 6, Country fans voted Parmalee’s debut single, “Musta Had A Good Time,” into the #1 spot on SiriusXM The Highway’s The Hot 30 Live Countdown.
Parmalee fans’ votes of confidence coincides with the single’s official add date at Country Radio. “Musta Had A Good Time” made its debut on Monday with double digit adds, charting immediately out of the gate at #58 on the Billboard Country Songs Chart.
The single has already sold over 60,000 downloads on iTunes, landing it on the Soundscan Top 100 Country Songs chart for the last two weeks.

Country Rock foursome Parmalee is essentially a family band comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/ guitar and drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox (bass) and lifelong best friend Josh McSwain (guitar).
Influenced by such musical heavyweights as the Allman Brothers, Travis Tritt and Bob Seger, the band’s name is derived from the small town of Parmele, NC (population 262), which is home to a gas station, two blinking yellow lights and a small tin-roofed barn dubbed Studio B where the band practiced on every given evening.
Cutting their teeth on the Southeastern touring circuit and known for their raucous, fun-loving live shows, the members of Parmalee endured a tumultuous journey to Nashville which included dangerous pit stops, catastrophic weather and a near-fatal robbery that would have torn most bands apart. Instead, Parmalee’s deep Country roots, intense motivation, and band-of-brothers sense of dedication brought the tight-knit crew even closer together.
Now signed to Stoney Creek Records – whose roster includes Grammy-nominees and 2012 ACM Vocal Duo of the Year Thompson Square as well as ACM & CMA nominee Randy Houser – Parmalee’s brand of music has met the Country format at time when Jason Aldean and Eric Church have helped to bring Country Rock to the forefront of popular Country music.

FEATURE ARTIST: PARMALEE
Parmalee is a rock band turned hit making country artists from North Carolina. Their debut single, "Musta Had a Good Time" is making it's mark on country radio with regular rotation on Sirius XM's "The Highway" and on mainstream stations as well. The name comes from the small town of Parmele, NC, where they started creating music in a small barn. The band consists of: Matt Thomas on vocals and guitar, Josh McSwain also on vocals and guitar, Barry Knox on vocals and Scott Thomas on drums.
Side note: On September 20, 2010, the drummer for Parmalee, Scott Thomas, was critically injured in a shooting during an attempted robbery on board the band's RV outside a Rock Hill, SC nightclub where they were loading equipment after their show. I remember when this happened, living in Raleigh, NC and them being a local band, the news was huge in this area. See the original article below posted by www.music.mync.com. Scott is back and better than ever and putting the shooting behind him and moving forward.
Parmalee Drummer Injured In Rock Hill Shooting
Posted on: Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
ROCK HILL, S.C. – The drummer for Greenville-based rock band Parmalee is in critical condition after being shot Monday night following the band’s show at a nightclub in Rock Hill.
Police say Scott Thomas is at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
“We are wishing for a quick recovery for Scott Thomas,” guitarist Josh McSwain said. “The band is at his side and we are staying positive. Thank you to all the fans for the love and kind words. Please keep Scott in your prayers and together we will all get through this. Thank you very much.”
Lieutenant Brad Redfearn says the band was loading equipment into their RV when two men burst in, one armed, and demanded money from the band members Matt and Scott Thomas around 1:10 a.m.
Detectives say the suspects pointed a gun at vocalist Matt, at which point his brother Scott came out from the back of the RV with his own gun and told them to leave.
That’s when police say the intruder with the gun opened fire and a shootout ensued, which lead to both robbers along with Scott being shot. Redfearn says one of the robbers, Demario Burris, died at the scene, the other suspect, Dytavis Hinton, ran about a hundred yards then collapsed.
Hinton and Scott were both taken to the hospital, where Scott is listed in critical condition and the suspect has been stabilized.
“I don’t know why this happened,” bassist Barry Knox said, fighting off emotions. “I can’t explain it.”
Knox’s sister says Scott has already made it out of one surgery and was scheduled for another later today or tonight.
Parmalee was in the middle of a tour of North and South Carolina when the shooting happened at The Money nightclub near Winthrop University. The band was scheduled to perform at City Limits Saloon in Raleigh on Friday, Sept. 24.
The band opened for Candlebox in 2009 as part of Deep South’s now-defunct Raleigh Downtown Live series that was hosted in Moore Square Park.
