Album Of The Week RTR



"These guys are fantastic. Simple as that." Richard Kingsmill, Triple J

“Instrumental crescendos and decrescendos against a backdrop of rolling drum lines, sweet male/ female vocal juxtapositions and other musical ebbs and flows” Time Off

"Auditory heaven. Think the ridiculously beautiful music of Sigur Rós but with electro, piano and rock elements… a masterpiece." Music Feeds

"Bold, startling, awe-inspiring and genuinely heartfelt…You could say they sound like Radiohead, Pink Floyd but really, they sound like nothing else around" The Dwarf

"Understated beauty” FasterLouder

Parades are a young art rock band from Sydney who wisely choose to create their own music with no outside input or interference. Featuring Dan Cunningham, Tim Jenkins, Michael Scarpin and Jonathan Boulet – Parades’ debut album Foreign Tapes is released this Friday 23rd April.

The album is expansive and ambitious; a haze of pop harmonies, post rock guitars and electronic meanderings. Drum Media did a great job describing the band when they said:

"Parades create their homely tunes in a garage in Sydney's Northwest, but it might as well be Iceland or the moon. They have an ethereal, expansive sound that is sweet and understated”



Parades are taking on their new album Foreign Tapes on the road in their biggest tour yet, over 10 dates across four states.

Supporting them in Ballarat, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Wollongong will be special guests Belles Will Ring, who are back with a new single Come To The Village, the first track from their second album due out in Spring 2010.
