Sprawling indie psych rock with lots of guitar, melody, sexy rhythms makes for verbose anthemic songs - Think Primal Scream, Love and Rockets and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Ranges from full on dance floor groove to bedside and dreamy.

Really, Really great Indie band - Really Really Great Debut Album.
author: John kelperCan't stop listening to this one. Heard "Losing Control" on radio- catchy instantly caught me. Buy this album. Dynamic and interesting - layered - groovey. A unique blending of driven tunes and moments of stripped down beauty. Nice one guys, JK
Yes quite good.
author: Stephen C.This album provides a enjoyable listening experience that grows on you after repeated listenings. Good for listening to on drugs, while riding your motorcycle or just lounging. Sky Parade is dynamic, physchedelic rock that can be compared to L&R's Sweet F.A. and some of the members past bands(BJM, Warlocks).
a psychadelic dreamy world of seductive guitars and compulsive melody
author: Chris HoweStumbled across this one on myspace as it seems this indie band are somewhat hard to find. Why is that? They are great! Huge sweeping landscapes of guitars and driving Rhythms mixd in with often delicate and souldful tunes make this a dynamic and intriguing album. Good work guys... A+
