Described as "the Smiths flicking lit matches at an absinthe drenched Iggy Pop" by Streetsound, and as "dark intensity... imbued with pathos... flair and panache" by The East Anglian Daily Times, The Dawn Parade’s gigs have won a devoted following, and drawn comparisons with Suede, Manic Street Preachers and Guns’n’Roses.
The Dawn Parade comprises singer Greg McDonald, 22, guitarists The Mole, 22, and Cuteboy, 18, bassist Bunkleschnuff, 18, and drummer Calvin Jennings, 18.
"A NEW BOWIE... FRENCH TORCH SONGS ARRANGED BY THE NEW YORK DOLLS... A LOT OF BALLS" - TONY SHEVLIN, EAST ANGLIAN DAILY TIMES
In recent months, The Dawn Parade have appeared on Trans World International’s premier music show, "Performance", while gigs at The Garage, and The Bull and Gate, in London, The Boardwalk, Manchester, and supports with Alan McGee’s latest Poptones signings January on their last tour, and All About Eve on their summer 2000 tour, have won comparisons with Suede, and secured a reputation as an incendiary live band.
