Triumph and Parade on purevolume™

Rock / Indie / Rock

"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence."

Triumph and Parade consists of five members who are not skilled painters, but artists none-the-less. Instead of brushes, they use instruments and a unique collaboration of ideas as their own swift stroke of creativity that help separate themselves from today's typical indie-rock band. Constructing songs with captivating melodies and harmonies, along with raw, chest-pounding, guitar-driven elements, the band continuously succeeds in creating a vivid image that resonates in listeners from all genres.

After relentless practicing and performing, the band recorded their 6 song, self-released EP. It was tracked and mixed in Chicago with producer/engineer Mike Hari at I.V. Lab Studios and the famed Gravity Studios. Once the songs were mastered at Sterling Sound in New York, the first track from the EP entitled "At Least It Felt Like A Promise," was selected over hundreds of other bands to be featured on Sterling Sound's "Emerging Artist Player" on their website.

Though they are unsigned, the group has shared the stage with several national acts such as A Static Lullaby, The Receiving End of Sirens, This Providence, and The Pink Spiders. Gaining recognition from independent music news sites, Triumph and Parade are featured on The Daily Chorus' "Top 40 Unsigned Bands" section along with other accomplished unsigned bands from around the world.

Since the release of the EP, Triumph and Parade has sold more than 1,000 copies at local shows, on tours throughout the midwest, and through various online sources such as SmartPunk and iTunes. "These 6 tracks have catchiness, sincerity, truth, and more energy than a 6 year old who didn't take their Ritalin." - somethingpunk.com

ACOUSTIC EP - STUDIO UPDATE (02-26-08)

...so winter has officially taken over illinois. i think it snows here every other day. if it's not snow, it's some kind of precipitation, whether it be rain, sleet, hail, or some kind of falling ice. at least the snow plows are getting some work in. i think i saw about 23983 of them yesterday.

actually, now that i think about it, it was 23984 of them. sorry.

anyways, we have been back in the studio for more recording. this weekend we recorded at the oddest hours ever. mike tracked his vocals throughout the night on saturday and we finished at about 5:00 AM on sunday morning, which made for a sweet drive home after no sleep. driving when you're tired is like not having enough sleep and then having to drive somewhere. dunkin donuts coffee helps, though... sorta.

mike sang the night away like there was no tomorrow and his lead vocals turned out amazing. i tracked him in the vocal booth all night while mitch and rich watched knocked up, anchorman, and family guy for hours. i was jealous of them because i love family guy. it was a fun night.

we've been doing tons of other additional production aspects to the cd as well. we made some cool noises with our amps that gave us feedback that sounds like whales on an acid trip. it gives some parts of our songs a pretty cool feel.

we have a few more fun noises and random instrument parts to do as well as my vocals, which should be done this week sometime. what are we going to do next, you might ask? we're going to disney world. then we will mix, and then you will hear it. be excited. we're excited for you to hear it.

still no word yet on the EP release show... as the cd gets closer to being done, we'll let you know when and where it's going to happen. it's gonna be good, though... so you better be there. if not, you're a shape that is not circle. it's also not rectangle. do you know what shape you'd be?

hope all is well. stay warm - because if you're anywhere in illinois, you're probably either wet or cold. this state is good at doing things like that to people. winter is an odd time, folks... an odd time. don't drink and drive. we love you all. come to shows when we play them.

the answer to the shape riddle was square, by the way.
square. oooooh yes. you'd be a square.

see you soon.

NEW ACOUSTIC EP INFO

hello friends.

today we write to inform you all of a new project we've been working on. over the last couple of weeks, we've been recording our next EP. it's going to have five songs on it and they're all acoustic. three of the songs are acoustic versions of songs from our last six song EP. the other two are acoustic versions of some new songs that we've been playing at shows over the last couple of months.

we've been doing the majority of the recording at a place called "Pragma Studios" in Chicago, but a little bit of it has been done at home, too. the music for the EP is basically all recorded except for a couple minor things that will be done in the next few days. we'll be doing vocals over the next couple of weeks as well as getting everything ready for the release of the cd, which we will try to make as soon as possible.

we're extremely excited to release something new for you all to listen to. as soon as we have everything done and ready, we'll be posting one or two songs here on our myspace and on our purevolume so you can hear them.

there will be a cd release show for the release of our acoustic EP. we'll post more about the show once the recording is closer to being finished. keep checking back as we'll be posting updates on the recording process as well as the release.

we can't wait to see you all again and we can't wait for your to hear our new music! see you at the shows!
