Band Spotlight: La Parade (Zegema Beach)

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the work of Dave Norman, Dave is a recent acquaintance of mine and a newfound friend for whom I have the utmost respect. His blog, OpenMind/SaturatedBrain, is, in my opinion, the best music discovery blog that is still active or relevant today. His posts are informative, well-written, and contain download links to the very best music in the emo/hardcore/punk community. Basically, if you enjoy aggressive or emotional music, his site is the perfect resource. Meanwhile, Dave also keeps busy running Zegema Beach Records, a young but consistently excellent label that clearly values the bands it supports.

In an effort to simultaneously support a friend and the great bands he works with, I plan on having a series of posts promoting the work Dave does over at Zegema Beach; after all, it's more music for more people.

Today's post focuses on the new La Parade CD/12" LP, Voces Del Exilio. Hailing from Spain, La Parade plays a highly melodic form of post-hardcore with effectively sung vocals. The second track on the LP introduces a more raw and aggressive side to the band, with more distorted instrumentation and screamed vocals.



Enjoy, and be prepared for more posts about our friends' labels and bands in the future!
