Darling Parade is an explosive power pop quartet hailing from the rolling hills Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky.

Formed in early 2007 against an unlikely backdrop of fields and Arcadian dwellings, Darling Parade was created as an offshoot of a recording project by lead vocalist Kristin Kearns. Guitarist Adam Gooch developed a rare creative chemistry with Kearns and eventually those sessions led to the release of the bands first EP (No Way Out).

In 2009, The band began writing with producer Jon King (Augustana, Throwing Gravity) with the intent to develop and record five new songs. As Kearns, Gooch and King spent months developing their new brand of powerful pop rock with relatable lyrics, countless hooks and memorable melodies they added band mates Casey Conrad (Drums) and Nate Thurston (Bass).

By October of 2009 the band was near completion of their debut album and the song "Far Away" was chosen for the trailer of the SYFY Channel series "Stargate : Universe". In January of 2010 they emerged with ten amazing tracks cementing both their new musical direction and dedication. With DP's relentless touring, unshakable energy and ability to captivate any audience the Parade is marching on... Constantly connecting with new fans and winning over crowds night after night.
