Biography submitted by Exile Parade.

EXILE Parade have been in the studio twice with producer Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve, The View) and have 10 tracks recorded.

Dutch Indie label Suburban Records was the first label to sign the band late last year, that deal covers France, Benelux, and Scandinavia only.

The first single 'Fire Walk With Me' released in April gained significant radio support in Europe with leading stations 3VOOR12 Holland, Studio Brussels and Oui FM - Paris playlisting Fire Walk With Me and making it Single of the week.

Exile Parade have recently played high profile European Festivals; London Calling at Paradiso in Amsterdam in April and Beeckestijn Festival near Haarlem in June; local newspaper Haarlem Dagblad wrote after the gig "The band sounded very tight with a huge sound; typically a band where you can say in a couple of years time just like Radiohead when they played the Beeckestijn Festival in 1993 - I was there!".

A second single in Holland and mini tour are expected later in the year.

We have received early radio support in the UK from Jim Gellalty - XFM Scotland, BBC Manchester Music, Conrad Murray - 96.2 The Revolution and other north west regional stations.

Two key Radio DJ's in the states; Sat Bisla (Indie 103.1) and Jed The Fish (KROQ) are also big supporters of the band and have played the band numerous times on their shows. Fire Walk With Me has recently been playlisted on KFRQ in Texas for regular rotation. All the US airplay resulted in the band recently breaking into the top 100 active rock mediabase radio chart.

Fire Walk With Me was on the "Skins" Series 1 DVD soundtrack & Love Disco was used in an Andy Dick directed film starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black.

"Lomax’s vocal is as raw and powerful as they come, this, coupled with the dirty, blues-like rock n’roll of the music all adds up to quite an exciting proposition." (High Voltage)
