VidZone Exclusive: Morning Parade Interview

It’s probably the worst time to have a parade if you ask me… but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that this band is going to be massive… and although I have to be nice… I actually mean it this time. Huge sounding anthemia with hooks the size of The Incredible Hulk’s whale fishing tackle, White Lies-esque surging synth driven poprock with the added bonus of Steve Sparrow’s vocals not inducing mild suicidal urges. Now enough of the ludicrous metaphors and pretentious comparisons… to the factmobile!

So… we got the chance to interview the band to see what they had to say about everything from “supporting” Kylie to their “widescreen, epic sound” as well as a whole load more interesting Morning Parade based anecdotes.

We also have the video to their current single “A&E” (plus some backstage footage) directed by Nabil who has directed Kanye, Will.i.am and Bruno Mars, their previous single video “Under the Stars” as well as live footage of them performing “Your Majesty“, “Pieces” and “Under the Stars“. Everything you need to get into to start loving and continue to love this band, I think you will agree.

As always with our exclusives you should… watch on VidZone, buy the single on the 27th of February, then the album, then go to one of the below live gigs to see it all in the flesh…
