22 (album)


22 is the only studio album made but never released by the Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs under their previous band name, Parva. It was due to be released on the Mantra Recordings label, which was closed by its owner Beggars Banquet prior to the release date. Four singles were released from the album, "Heavy", "Good Bad, Right Wrong", "Television" and "Hessles". The Prince Of Wales mentioned in the lyrics of "Heavy" is a pub in Leeds. The band chose the name Parva by shortening the original band name of Runston Parva, which is a misspelling of Ruston Parva, a village in East Yorkshire.
