Despite every second scene kid in Brisbane wearing a Parkway Drive t-shirt (which should automatically make the band cringeworthy) they do pretty damn good music. Their 2007 release, Horizons, was one of the best hardcore albums to come out in Australia and have earned them much publicity overseas.
2010 will see them release a new album, Deep Blue, and presales are already up for it. They will be touring the album and as always, be bringing some overseas supports with them. They are playing the Riverstage on September 22 with the Devil Wears Prada, the Ghost Inside and 50 Lions. It's a licensed and all-ages gig, with early reports saying tickets will be around the $40 mark.
I haven't seen Parkway since their infamous last all-ages gig at the Arena (rest in peace) in 2008, which ended with the riot squad and fire brigade showing up. And blood everywhere. It was so intense that it was one of the reasons that the Arena lost it's license and is now Mystique.
Here's Boneyards off of Horizons:
Of the supports, I've seen 50 Lions, who play an older style of hardcore-punk and have some great songs.
