Still Number One / Bicycle Thieves / Get Your Gun Boys / Fire Walk With Me
SELF RELEASED
Bursting from the North West of England with a blistering four song demo, Exile Parade are a driving indie rock five piece who manage to take all the best bits of the Verve, Queens Of The Stone Age and Oasis and channel them into one feral whole.
The catchy STILL NUMBER ONE is a blur of infectious melodies and clanging, raucous guitar action; Exile Parade a manic rush of indie pop fizzle and snarling rock attitude. With BICYCLE THIEVES, the band may skate dangerously close to cheesy Bon Jovi styled pop rock at times, just about getting away with it through sheer force of will and raging guitars.
FIRE WALK WITH ME is an incendiary blast of fuzzed up rock action, guitar riffs blazing, drum beats pummelling and Lomax's snarling vocals commanding your attention from the get go. The infectious pop of GET YOUR GUN BOY sees Exile Parade take a song from jaunty britpop beginnings to sneering punk rage by the climax, the best song Oasis never wrote.
An exciting and exhilarating new band, Exile Parade have the songs, attitude and presence to go all the way. Watch this band explode over the coming year.
BIOGRAPHY
Many bands emerge from the hotbed of talent in the North West, but not many emerge with the endorsement of a best selling author in their ears. This was the case for Exile Parade when Mick Middles (From Joy Division to New Order) heaped praise on the band after witnessing their live set.
Exile Parade released their debut double A-side FIRE WALK WITH ME and GET YOUR GUN BOY to much critical acclaim late last year. The Warrington/Manchester-based five-piece have already earned a reputation for exhilarating live performances. 2007 promises to be equally exciting as have been signed to feature on the soundtrack to Danny Roane: First Time Director which stars A list actors Ben Stiller and Jack Black.
The band have already signed to a US management company. Currently the band are in talks with Owen Morris (Oasis/The View) about recording a new EP later this year, after he saw the band live last month.
