Sounds Like
"A band with a northern heart and a country soul. Shut your eyes and you'll get more than a whiff of the L.A. canyons. Lyrically beautiful songs and melodies that leave you with an aching heart and a yearning to re-visit your 70's west coast album collection."
- BBC INTRODUCING
"Very good"
- STEVE LAMACQ
"Psychedelic anti folk, apparently. Whatever it is, I like it."
- NEIL McCORMICK, DAILY TELEGRAPH
"This is good, and by good, I mean really f**cking good!"
-YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
HORSE GUARDS PARADE formed in the summer of 2008 and spent the autumn and winter writing and recording songs. In January 2009 the band started playing live throughout britain. March saw the band self release their first E.P. which was enthusiastically received and played on BBC 6 MUSIC, BBC RADIO 2 and given a big thumbs up by STEVE LAMACQ. This support helped HORSE GUARDS PARADE secure more gigs throughout Britain and also record a live radio session for BBC INTRODUCING.
August will see the band play both THE BIG CHILL FESTIVAL and THE READING/LEEDS FESTIVAL on the BBC INTRODUCING STAGE and be highlighted on the BBC WEBSITE. The band will spend the rest of the year recording, playing live and working on future releases.
