Parkway Drive has spent the past decade at the forefront of heavy music worldwide with a sound so uncompromisingly ferocious and intense. Tonight, triple j will be premiering the brand new Parkway Drive single ‘Crushed on’ Good Nights on triple j.
The Byron Bay powerhouse has tapped deep into its reserves of talent and creativity, and pushed themselves as musicians and songwriters to take their established sound to another level. ‘Crushed’ is taken from Parkway Drive’s highly anticipated fifth album, Ire which will be out September 25 via Resist Records.
Winston McCall explains ‘Crushed’ “…is a continuation of the musical evolution of Parkway Drive. Lyrically, this song deals with the concept of power and control that is the basis for modern society. We live in a time when the lives of the many are lived at the will of the few. Filter information and deceit are used as controls while we are told to fear and persecute rather than understand and sympathise. We have let the balance of power slip so far that a godlike will is able to be imposed upon the masses with little to no way of breaking the cycle.”
The ‘Crushed’ video will go live on Tuesday, August 25 at 7.00am Australian EST time. “The video we created was aimed to reflect these facets. We can’t break gravity, but we did our best to twist it, so we filmed it all in a room that was constantly rotating 360 degrees, which made for an awesome effect, but added a crazy amount of danger to the process.” – Winston McCall.
Parkway Drive will be touring Australia throughout September and October for the IRE Australian tour. Joining them are special guests Thy Art Is Murder, Memphis May Fire and The Word Alive. Tickets are on sale now.
