22 is the only studio album released by the Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs under their previous band name, Parva. It was released on the Mantra Recordings label, which was closed by its owner Beggars Banquet soon after. 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.
Note: Track 11 includes a hidden preview of the song 'Vending Machine'.
