Parkway Drive (Aus) & I Killed The Prom Queen (Aus)

Resist and Anchor present the Parkway Drive "Atlas Tour" New Zealand 2012, with special guests I Killed The Prom Queen, Depths and Too Late.

Tickets from undertheradar.co.nz and Real Groovy Auckland.

Byron Bay’s Parkway Drive will return to New Zealand this December to coincide with the release of their hugely anticipated fourth album, Atlas.

Recorded in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, etc.), the soon-to-be-released Atlas is yet another leap forward for the chart-topping Australian group, whose previous effort, 2010’s Deep Blue, took out the ARIA award for Best Hard Rock and Metal release.

The new album’s heightened ambition has led to plans for a more elaborate live show.

“Everything has been enhanced,” says Parkway vocalist Winston McCall. “For the past ten years we’ve played with a backdrop, and the whole experience has been us. We’re trying something this time, and hopefully it makes people feel something different as well. It’s definitely going to be entertaining. There won’t be any dead spots.”

Having appeared at the Big Day Out earlier this year, December’s show will be Parkway Drive’s first New Zealand headline show since September 2010.
