There are at least two groups calling themselves The Perishers. 1) The most well-known group is a Swedish indie rock band. The band began in 1997 composed of six members, since 2001 it has consisted of Ola Klüft (vocals, guitar), Martin Gustafson (keyboards, backing vocals), Pehr Åström (bass), and Thomas Hedlund (drums).
Although they have not had a major commercial breakthrough, they do have a fanbase that stretches across Europe and North America. They've had several songs appear in episodes of the popular American television programs The OC, Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill and Greek. Their song Sway also plays on the "College rock" station in the Sims 2.
Also of note is the fact that singer Sarah McLachlan, with whom they toured with in the summer of 2005, is a featured artist on their song Pills. Thomas Hedlund has been seen playing drums for Phoenix during their North American Tour. 2) The other group is British and has released two albums (as of 2007).
The band is a four-piece originally from Basingstoke but now based in London. The Persihers are: Paul Osbourne (vocals, bass), Torquil Pagdin (guitar), Spencer Chisholm (guitar) and Diff (drums).
Can you feel it, is it true?
Is something gone inside of you
Wish there was something I could do
From here on in, its all to you
I dearly wish it wasnt so
But life goes on, I have to go..
Take a step and come out of the shade
I can tell you're no longer afraid
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Take a step and come out in the sun
I can tell it's already begun
I'm helpless... more
Take a step and come out of the shade
I can tell you're no longer afraid
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Take a step and come out in the sun
I can tell it's already begun
I'm helpless without your warming smile
One may think we’re alright but we need pills to sleep at night. We need lies to make it through the day. We’re not okay #nowplaying Pills- The Perishers </3
