Stone Parade

What started out as a jam in a pool side cabana, turned into months of sleeping on floors in LA and has now resulted in Australian band Stone Parade's second full length album 'Stratosphere'. Their latest offering was mixed by renowned US world class producer Mark Needham, who's past works include The Killers and My Chemical Romance. Needham was high in his praise of the band "Stone Parade is one of the most talented bands we have worked with this year. All of us here are BIG fans of these guys."

REVIEWS
"Heads are sure to turn. Stone Parade have delivered an album that features some epic songs. Stratosphere showcases an album that understands where their sound lies and more importantly where they want to take it." - DRUM MEDIA
"★★★★ Home grown rockers Stone Parade strap in and go straight ahead with crunchy riffs and big beats on this independent release. The opening tracks Paranoia and Mr Spaceman are worth the price of admission." - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"Stone Parade are out to make a statement. Their debut album Stratosphere is a heady mix of sonic forces that channels everything from The Killers, Muse, and Australia's own Wolfmother. The album traverses many genres and showcases their ability for experimentation. Lead single "Paranoia" has afforded the band early success on commercial radio and if the calibre of this album is anything to go by, these lads might just parade themselves to #1 on the album charts." - THE AU REVIEW
