Killing With A Smile: The Parkway Drive Thread

[bringbacktheshred]

I did a search and didn't find anything on these guys.

What the hell is wrong with you people? :lol:

Anyway post some thoughts on this band, and if you don't know who they are, just Google it.

Quick information: Australian-based metalcore/post-hardcore band. They have just released their first album, as well as a 7-track EP.

Standout songs include:
-Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em
-Gimme AD
-Don't Close Your Eyes

Does anyone know why they never play flesh,bone and weakness live. Thats like my favourite song by PWD.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Haven't heard of them. What does Killing With A Smile mean??

[One step away]

awesome band. I caught them when they played at newcastle ( n.c.h.c wolfpack, represent! ) a while back, really really good show.


flesh,bone and weakness probably isnt a crowd fave thats why they don't play it live man. Great band though

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You're from Newcastle?

[KaOtIc]

New parkway is intense i had to miss the show they did in adelaide with her nightmare coz of damn work but the albums great Adam D did a damn fine job on that guitar tone

[Mannik]

I've heard some of their songs off their website and didn't think it was too great. I'll try them again though. For Aussie hardcore I prefer Last Nerve or The Dead Walk. Shouldn't this thread be in hardcore?

[Epicurus]

Saw them with As I lay dying and Shadows fall, they were great.

[deadinholywood]

i think that this thread is in the right place they have a lot of Metal influences in their music.
I love the new album the solos are great (particularly in Gimme AD) and the drumming is amazingly tight, although i dislike the bass mix (as in its often hard to differentiate it between the massive guitars) and some of the lyrics are pretty poor.
I saw these guys playing at NEXT in melbourne before they released KWS and the amps were rocking around so much im amazed they didnt fall over. The band has come a long way in a very short time and i expect much improvement with future releases!

i cannot believe i haven't seen this thread yet.
Parkway Drive are one of if not the best Australian band. Their ep is very good but the album (produced by Adam Durkesomething from Killswitch Engage) is so very good. i am going to see them with The Getaway Plan who suck, Carpathian and Evergreen Terrace tomorrow. i can't wait it's gonna be so mad

[delinquent]

My friend got kicked in the head at Carpathian.

Funny story.

Look out for Tommy Dollars, the massively tall guy with crazy tattoos. I saw him when I saw Parkway, he started hardcore dancing and clocked about 3 kids. Rumour has it he was told to stop hardcore dancing because he broke a kid's nose.

Brutal eh?

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

man parkway ****ing owned. best show ever. they put on a really good live show, even if one kid did snap his leg. man it was so much fun, if you were thinking about seeing them then i say definetly see them you wont regret it:thumb:

[ABeautifulDissonance]

Any of you guys heard of the amity affliction?

[ValeOfShadows]

Im going to see this guys in April!

[Salivation]

Smoke em if you got em is such a brutal song

[bringbacktheshred]

Let's bring this thread back from the dead...

Fave song?

[Darth Sidious]

generic metalcore band to me, but I won't say anymore since I don't have much nice to say.

[deadinholywood]

At the moment it's Don't Close Your Eyes the "This is for every hour..." section gets me every time. Very much looking forward to seeing these guys in a couple of weeks time, it will be a brutal experience!

[loathed]

wow, this band is good. most of their riffs are melodic. really good. theres not really a stand out song for me...all the songs are good.

[My_sweet_Shadow]

This band are the SH!T one of the best things to come out of Australia. A quick tip if you havnt seen these guys live yet you best get your *** down to one of there shows before they head overseas because when they return you wont be payin $20 to see them

Some fav songs:Gimme AD, Smoke Em If You Got Em, Pandora and Blackout
