◦ Parkway Drive was formed in 2002 in Byron Bay, Australia. The name was taken from where the band held their practices; in the “Parkway House” on Parkway Drive-the street. Byron Bay, known as a ‘’hippie loving’’ town was awakened by Parkway Drive’s blend of sound. The band’s music consists of heavy vocals, strong breakdowns, heavier and melodic guitar riffs as well as hardcore emotional lyrics. The band’s genre has been classified from melodic deathcore to metalcore.

Associated Acts:

Many think that Parkway Drive is one of the best bands in their genre. Some people might disagree(see YouTube comments) and compare them to Bury Tomorrow who sound similar but are different. Parkway Drive must be successful if they keep selling out concerts and people are buying their CDs. Parkway Drive is one of my favorite bands, along with Bury Tomorrow
