Darling Parade
Lead vocalist Kristin Kearns and lead guitarist Adam Hatfield were introduced to each other over the course of playing live music in the local Nashville scene. After launching the band as a just-for-fun recording project, Kearns and Hatfield welcomed Nate McCoy (bass) and Casey Conrad (drums) in to the group in early 2010 as they all collectively began to realize they were on the verge of something bigger than they could have even imagined.
In the fall of 2011, Darling Parade look forward to releasing a brand new EP and sharing their latest music with what seems to be an ever-expanding fan-base. They are just adding some final touches to the EP, which they are setting a date to release very soon.
The band’s new sampler album is essentially a little taste of what the band has been working on within the last several months and is a preview of what can be expected on a full-length record. Sure-to-be-hit-tracks such as “Never Wrong”, “Give It Up”, and “Remember” are truly a first glance of what the quartet have in store. This August, the band shot their first-ever music video, for their lead-single “Never Wrong” with award-winning director Kurt Nishimura (represented by the agency Hello! And Company), whose previous works have aired on VH1’s Top 20 Music Video Countdown as well as during the Grammy Awards broadcasts on CBS. The band currently has serious interest from several labels and will likely not remain unsigned for long. When asked what truly sets the band apart from the crowded music scene nowadays, drummer Conrad simply states on behalf of the rest of the band, “We are better”. Having played regional shows with artists from Secondhand Serenade to Switchfoot to Sixpence None The Richer, the band look forward to touring nonstop, melting faces, and spreading their feel-good tunes with the rest of the world.
