About
This Epitaph band combines Scandinavian metal guitars, hardcore breakdowns and abrasive vocals - the very definition of the American metalcore phenomenon, though they hail from Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. Formed in 2003, and named for a country road near their hometown, Parkway Drive -- Winston McCall, Ben Gordon, Jeff Ling, Luke Kilpatrick and Jia O'Connor -- are influenced by Unearth, Bleeding Through and Evergreen Terrace -- who are nearly contemporaries! Having tapped Killswitch Engage guitarist/metalcore producer extraordinaire Adam D. on both 2005's Killing With a Smile and 2007's Horizons, Parkway Drive are making a name for themselves right alongside their influences.
