The Pharmacy Prophets are a rock and roll band from Washington, DC.
The band released their debut record "Songs of Death and Happiness" in the Spring of 2003, and a promotional EP "Pan Into the Grayscale" in Autumn 2005. The band is currently in the studio recording their new album "Fantomé", their most ambitious project to date.
PRESS
D.C.-area rockers Steve Bowes and Phil Rossi have a well-earned
reputation as hard charging, no nonsense throwbacks to an era before image
consultants satisfied gullible consumers with third generation new wave
bands in matching suits. "Pan Into the Greyscale" shows that the Pharmacy
Prophets walk the walk. From the opening chords of the title track
through the final suggestive invitation of sultry closer "All Night," the
band demonstrate their appreciation for intricate guitar interplay and a
tight-knit rhythm section. Drummer Ben Mellott and bassist Rossi drive
this set and the guitar tandem of Bowes and Trey Ponish ably utilize the
strong foundation. The purchase price for Greyscale is justified by
the guitar lead that ends "Mansion on the Hill" alone.
