Sounds LikeSMOTHER.NET SAYS:

For some reason, pun-irific or not, when I saw the name “The Nerd Parade”, I instantly thought of Robert Carradine and Anthony Edwards’ role in the classic comedy “Revenge of the Nerds”. While all those horn-rimmed glasses images aside, what you have here is a melodic indie pop group that has female/male vocals amid a chorus of chunky guitars and electronic bleeps. Who can go wrong with that? Not many and the Nerd Parade prove that they’re no one-hit wonder with dashes of awesomeness spread about throughout “A Delicate Bashing”. Stellar my friends!

MURMUR MAGAZINE SAYS:

"The latest in a barrage of North Georgia-based bands invading our personal space is The Nerd Parade out of Atlanta. And fortunately for our earholes, they're really good. They're a mellow 5-piece lo-fi pop band with some electro elements.

Led by Nophi Recordings label co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Randy Garcia, The Nerd Parade is obviously a project of careful craftsmanship and restraint. In my estimation, lo-fi bands of the same genre regularly reek of sloppiness, yet that is not the case here. There are no stray notes or unmotivated musical tangents at work, and the balance between the group's live and computer-generated elements leaves no musical tension or desire for more of one or the other. It's effortless to listen to."

Nerd Parade -- "The Span of a Life" Teaser





NERD PARADE IS:

• A band from Atlanta, GA
• A conglomeration of deftly paired, often opposing musical genres
• Best Friends
• Melting your face with rock and roll

Randy Garcia and Rich Wilson met in a Florida middle-school cafeteria in 1991. Soon after, the duo began to learn how to make music together. Typical practice sessions involved poor quality cassette recordings, liberal amounts of instrument swapping, guitar smashing and foul language befitting a pair of teenagers in the epoch of grunge. Forward 18 years and not much has changed -- only now they can play a little better.

Garcia and Wilson, along with drummer Chris Sheldon and singer Abby Wren are the Nerd Parade, a titular phrase that is wholly descriptive of this group's collective persona. Nerd Parade officially began in 2006 when a particularly disillusioned R. Garcia called upon his friends to take musical chances, zig where there could have easily been a zag, and never, ever take themselves too seriously.

Nerd Parade has created a distinct set of ethics for their musical output, eschewing the common teen angst and blatant negative themes of modern popular music in favor of a more positive (albeit bittersweet) approach. Their songs are clever and witty without being overtly intellectual, fun and challenging without being lofty. Evocative and personal, each Nerd Parade song tends to be a chapter in some larger narrative, drawing from real-life experience and designed to bring forth a sense of involvement from the listener, rather than rouse the most basic emotions.
