Parade is the band founded by guitarist Chris
Johnson. Chris has previously worked with Fish and Mostly Autumn and was a
featured writer on the Mostly Autumn album Heart Full Of Sky from 2007
contributing the songs Silver Glass and Blue Light. More recently Chris has
been a member of the Fish live band who have recently finished an extended
bout of touring.
Chris formed the band Parade to explore the darker side of his song writing.
Some of the songs were originally earmarked for Mostly Autumn although they
find a home amongst other songs of a similar dark style on the Parade's
debut album The Fabric.
Joining Chris in Parade is Fish band mate Gavin Griffiths (Drums), Anne
Marie Helder from Panic Room also contributes vocals and keyboards and the
line up is completed by guitarist Simon Snaize and bassist Patrick Berry.
Other musicians contributing performances to The Fabric include Bryan Josh,
Olivia Sparnenn and Heather Findlay from Mostly Autumn. |

The album began life in earnest following the
end of the Fish tour in early 2009 and was completed relatively quickly
some months later. The eleven songs on the album all bear a distinctive
experimental sound although a commercial rock streak also permeates the
tracks. Which include Come Alive, Start Again, High Life, The Dogs, All
That I Wanted and Facing Down.
Due to the members of the band having high profile associations with the
likes of Fish, Mostly Autumn and The Panic Room this album will attract
a wide audience from the related fan bases and the progressive rock
scene in general not to mention acquiring their own unique fan base.
