"We just want to write great songs, songs that give people that push to get out of bed in the morning and run at life"...
So says Dublin's freshest new band Sydney Parade. Due to release their eagerly awaited single "If You Ever" on nascent Independent label Nomadd Records in Autumn 2007, it is clear that this is a band whose ambition will not be easily quelled.
Sydney Parade is a band full of fresh ideas, pushing to be heard in Ireland's now bright and thriving music scene. Holed away in their garage HQ for the past 2 years, the band has worked hard to harness individual creative passions and hone a sound full of raw passion, honesty and emotion, whilst always maintaining a wry smile on their collective face.
Comprising a style that manages to slip in and out of the clutches of categorization-finding a basis in garage rock yet incorporating a pop sensibility that belies the juggernaut of sound that they are known to create, their songs are laden with romance, barroom bravado, youthful naivete, cigarette smoke and humour. Some influences include the Stooges, Nirvana, The Pixies, The Clash, but the band believes the current music climate is a really exciting and healthy one with great bands such as The Metric, QOTSA, Wilco and Interpol all inspiring them to write, record and try new ideas.
This Autumn Sydney Parade release their debut single "If You Ever" a song of infectious Powerpop, meets punk, meets good old rock n roll... A number of planned live dates to coincide with the release.
