Not content with their status as the most awe-inspiring phenomenon
Australian heavy music has yet seen, PARKWAY DRIVE have begun to make
vast inroads overseas, selling out the majority of dates on their
latest European headlining tour, with extra shows added in several
countries to cope with ravenous fan demand.
Unleashed last October, PARKWAY DRIVE’s second full-length album
“Horizons” solidified the group’s reputation as an unparalleled force
in local hardcore and metal – a Top 6 ARIA berth, two sold-out national
tours and tens of thousands of satisfied punters will firmly attest to
that. Now the Byron Bay behemoth are stepping it up on the world stage.
Already respected as hardened road warriors, the PARKWAY juggernaut has
not stopped rolling since “Horizons” hit stores. Keeping the home fires
burning with the two aforementioned local tours, the five-piece have
focused a large amount of their efforts abroad, enhancing their
underground rep with each successive global circumnavigation.
This January saw PARKWAY DRIVE embark on their most successful foray
into North America thus far, supporting scene kings Killswitch Engage
across the US, while their more recent bombardment of Russia, Finland,
Spain, Greece, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Austria and the UK saw their
snowballing popularity in the region escalate into a full-blown
avalanche. Headlining over US acts Bury Your Dead and Suicide Silence,
they sold-out many venues in advance, with demand for tickets strong
enough in Germany, Austria and England to warrant several additional
dates.
Having completed their European engagements rubbing shoulders with the
likes of Bad Religion, Story Of The Year, Face To Face and Sick Of It
All at Belgium’s Groezrock Festival on May 10, the triumphant
five-piece are now gearing up for yet another Aussie assault in June.
Ably supported by Boston’s Have Heart, New Zealand’s Antagonist and
Perth’s Break Even, PARKWAY DRIVE will storm the nation’s capital
cities for what is set to be a homecoming of truly apocalyptic
proportions. Brace yourself – this phenomenon is about to get a whole
lot more phenomenal.
