Hightown Parade – New Single “Silhouette” Out On May 25th

Following the success of debut single release “Choose” in November 2017 (which spent 10 weeks on the Planet Rock playlist), Brighton based Hightown Parade are set to release follow up single “Silhouette”.

Presenting the positive theme of self belief outweighing and counteracting self hate, “Silhouette” is 3 minutes of instantly memorable driving rock. Featuring the precocious talents of front man Chris Payn, Galen Stapley’s eccentric guitar, Chris Sampson’s guitar and piano and Bassist Io Kaloudi. Hightown Parade create simple Rock’n’Roll revivalism and radio friendly rock that is bold, theatrical and infectious. “Silhouette” was mixed by Chris Sheldon (Biffy Clyro, Feeder, Foo Fighters).

With more touring planned throughout 2018, Hightown Parade have two festivals dates confirmed to date –

Sun 6thMay 2018       Teddy Rocks, Blandford https://teddyrocks.co.uk/

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
