Parades End was an emo/hardcore band from Long Beach, California. The band had a mid-tempo, stop-start sound, that could be loosely compared to bands like Still Life. While they may not have gained widespread recognition, they were influential in the late '90s scene and served as precursors to bands like You And I, with their mix of sung and screamed vocals.
Parades End combined melodic elements with the intensity of hardcore, creating a distinctive style that was well preformed and extremely catchy. Parades End's contributions helped shape the late 90s scene, influencing many bands that came after them. If you're interested in exploring their work, it's definitely worth a listen!
Apparently there is an unreleased Parades End full length that was recorded for Phyte records, if you happen to have the audio files please let us know!
