In their own words….

Warrington band Exile Parade will be finishing their debut album in May at Mike Crossey’s Motor Musuem Studios, Liverpool; it will include tracks produced by Owen Morris (Oasis/The Verve/The View) and will be released worldwide later in the year through various Indie labels.

Before they head into the studio the band will be playing to over 70,000 people live and a TV audience of 150m when they play the main stage at the Zebra Music Festival in Chengdu, China on May 3. The band were invited to play the festival after building a strong online fanbase through Chinese social media site Douban and press features in the Beijing Times; the band will also be playing shows Beijing and Shanghai.

In the UK Exile Parade have recently supported The Enemy in Manchester and have shows coming up at The Masque, Liverpool (May 14), Alan McGees Geasy Lips Clubnight at The Ruby Lounge, Manchester (June 5) and The Sellindge Music Festival. Jim Gellaty of XFM / BBC Scotland commented on his radio show after watching a live show in Glasgow…”they reminded me of a totally punked-up Rolling Stones”.

Recently signed to large Dutch Indie label Suburban Records for Europe the band have also played in Europe’s leading venues including Paradiso, Amsterdam for London Calling sharing the stage with The Ting Tings, Mystery Jets and The Rascals. After playing the Beeckestijn Festival Dutch newspaper Haarlem Dagblad wrote “The band sounded very tight with a huge sound; typically a band where you can say in a couple of years time just like Radiohead when they played the Beeckestijn Festival in 1993 – I was there!”
