bellaparker is an indie rock band from Austin, Texas
formed during the first months of 2003. With emotional
singing, hook-oriented guitars, and a driving rhythm section,
bellaparker is a melodic blend of new wave, brit pop, and
indie rock. The members are Chad Geraci, vocals, guitar, keys, and bass, and Abby DeBois on drums and backing vocals.

bellaparker's roots can be traced back to a chance
meeting between Geraci and DeBois. After responding
to a "musicians wanted" ad in a local newspaper, they
spent the next year with other band members hashing
out disorderly songs and throwing mic stands in a
cramped rehearsal space. This left them artistically
unfulfilled and wondering which direction they should
go. With a deep appreciation for one another's creativity
and sharing the same vision, they decided to start bellaparker.

Their debut EP The Things We Say was self-released in 2003
and supported by a string of live shows in 2004. The positive
response received by critics and promise showed by the band,
allowed it to land a record contract with Raleigh based indie
label Silent Uproar. They have spent 2007 writing and recording songs for their debut LP due out in early 2008.
