Pistol Day Parade (PDP) has been in the Detroit music scene since 2008 and in some aspects have already made a name for themselves on a national level. With two songs in regular rotation on 101.1 WRIF (1 Active Rock station in the country) PDP is doing the seemingly impossible as an unsigned band. Their debut EP, "She Wants More" which was released to the public on January 25th, 2009 has sold over 3000 physical copies and even thousands more digitally. "She Wants More" features the single, "Rockstar's Girlfriend" which made its debut at 38 on BILLBOARD's Active Rock charts in September of 2009. Currently, their follow-up single, "High" has been getting massive airplay on WRIF and has quickly climbed its way into the top 5 on the station's charts.
Pistol Day Parade prides itself on their live show. "We try to play every show as if it were our last, so every show is truly exciting and more of an event than a concert!" said Fuller. Pistol Day Parade's songs are addictive and will leave their listeners with an instant urge to hear it again. Their choruses are well written, catchy, explosive and are easy for the listener to relate to. PDP is currently writing, arranging and recording a full length album that should be released by mid-2010. "Our new material is unbelievable! If you loved our EP, you will be blown away by the album. The new songs still contain what you loved about the (She Wants More EP) but with a lyrical maturity and musical growth that shows our experience since we last hit the studio." states Steve "Guido" Johnson.
Pistol Day Parade has already turned the heads of some of the biggest record label presidents in the world; they are simply waiting for the right label to come along that wants to make themselves a fortune with PDP.

READ WHAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS SAYING ABOUT PDP:
Pistol Day Parade is one of the most entertaining and marketable bands to come out of Detroit in decades. Their "She Wants More" demo is a non-stop song after song money machine that begs for a clear headed record exec to grab onto this train and ride it to the bank. ~ (Detroit Live Magazine) Darian Counts/Editor & ChiefSimply put, the best unsigned band in America Today. This band has absolutely everything it takes to be a world force! They will be touring the world with the likes of Nickelback by next summer. The singer Fuller is amazing, one of the best voices to come out of rock and roll in years. The musicianship is top shelf and guess what, these boy’s bring it even better live. The guitar players are absolutely balls out great! Stripped down real tone and gripping hooks from Rob Banks and the mechanic Guido will be inspiring young upstart’s for years to come. Mark my words, these guys from the Motorcity are it!~ (Last.fm) “While blending their music in a completely original fashion, (PDP) is constantly creating a style all their own.” That’s exactly what I thought when I listened to their music. completely & utterly original, yet somehow a lil’ bit familiar. The cutting edge social commentary of Nickelback (or Metallica reinterpreting Bob Seger), the racy language of Puddle of Mudd, the obnoxious pseudo-angst & acoustic versatility of Days of the New, the painfully muddy clean guitars of Staind & 3 Doors Down… this is a one stop shop! What is Silent Majority Group waiting on!? Pull the trigger already! ~ Jon Cole (KingsOfAR.com)When I read the name Pistol Day Parade im not gonna lie, I was expecing some sort of crappy emo band, I thought about breaking out my razor blades before I hit the play button. Damn was I wrong, these guys are pretty much phenomenal. ~ Miak?/Editor & Chief (iammiak.com)Truly a CAN'T MISS; they exude pure talent. A true gem for this crew was the addition of bassist, Jason Lollio. The combination of Jason on bass, Guido Johnson on lead guitar and the versatile twosome of Randy Watson & Rob Banks on drums and rhythm guitar, truly brought out the genius of vocalist, Fuller. Through line-up changes, drama and heartbreak, these guys have found a mix that will one day see them playing worldwide. ~ "Tiny" Tim Cook (Detroit Radio Personality) With their hook filled lyrics, and guitar driven rock sound, Pistol Day Parade is ready for the mainstream. If their two consecutive months at 1 on our Unsigned Top 10 chart is any idication, this band is ready to explode. ~ Chad Durkee (AlternativeAddiction.com) Pistol Day Parade is a great, and pure example of what makes this Detroit Rock City. They bring an energy and performance to any venue, be it your favorite bar, club, festival or the CD deck in your car, that can be matched by few. on the local and national circuit. Pistol Day Parade, coming to a stadium near you! ~ Al "Slayer" Beck (101.1 FM WRIF)
