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. Adam Gooch & John Davis developed a rare creative chemistry with Kearns and eventually those sessions led to the release of the bands first EP (No Way Out). After months of rehearsals, reformed punk drummer Scotty Adams joined to finalize the group.

In 2009, The band jumped back into the studio with producer Jon King (Augustana, Kate Linne,The October) to record five new songs. They emerged with a new release cementing both their new musical direction and dedication. With relatable lyrics, countless hooks, and an unshakable energy, the Parade is constantly adding new fans and winning over crowds night after night.
