MORE INFO ABOUT THIS ARTIST AND TOUR:
Built on a foundation of swirling psychedelic guitars and vocal harmonies, The Demon Parade are releasing their debut EP God Said It’s Legal. The EP follows on from the band’s first release – a limited 500 run of a special-edition 7” which were quickly snapped-up – as well as a string of high-profile gigs at Cherry Rock Festival, Playground Weekender and supporting Brian Jonestown Massacre at all shows on their recent 2010 Australian tour. Anton Newcombe even gave the band his blessing to “play as long as you want” in their support sets.
Featuring space rock shaman and songwriter Michael Badger on guitar and vocals, Jarryd Boath on guitar, Rob Bryers (Bass/Vocals) and Greg Dempster (drums); the band has recently added ex-Treetops singer Jordan Speering on additional guitar and vocal duties – and are now primed to unleash the beast that is their debut EP God Said It’s Legal.
“[The Demon Parade are] nothing short of un-f**king-believable. They’re a heady mix of gut punching guitars and mind bending psychedelic noise-punk – and yes they’re as good as that sounds. It’s like tearing shoegaze’s head out of its arse and replacing it with a firecracker – they are, suffice to say, quite excellent. Surprising best on ground by The Demon Parade.”
Jaymz Clements, Editor - Beat Magazine
Recorded, and mixed by Badger himself at his Jaya Jaya studios, God Said It’s Legal captures The Demon Parade’s dense and ethereal sound, presenting a band that rewards faith in the danger, unpredictability and palpable thrill of live rock n’ roll. From the seductive and defiant harmonies of first single Do You Believe In Hell? to the shimmering guitar chimes of Afterworld, the EP is a Pandora’s Box of texture and melody. Taking the pointed pop melodies of early 90s Britpop and the spectral depth of 70s Psychedelic Rock as reference points, God Said It’s Legal EP finds its foundations in music from the past but audaciously bashes down the door to the future.
Preferring to let the music speak for itself, the band invite you to tune in, turn it up and drop your needle in the groove. The Demon Parade release their debut EP God Said It’s Legal this July through Jaya Jaya Records.
