Parkway Drive is a metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. As of 2009, Parkway Drive has released an EP, entitled Don’t Close Your Eyes, two split albums, and two full-length albums, Killing With a Smile and Horizons.
Parkway Drive formed in the summer of 2003, their name coming from the street they used to practice on in their home town of Byron Bay, Australia. Not long after they had formed, they released a split EP with Adelaide band I Killed The Prom Queen who have since disbanded. Later that year, the band also made an appearance on the Byron Bay Hardcore compilation What We’ve Built, preceded by their debut EP, Don’t Close Your Eyes.
In May 2005 headed to the USA to record their debut album with renowned metal producer, Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (who is responsible for acclaimed releases from the likes of Unearth, August Burns Red, Underoath and Johnny Truant.)
Since the release of Don’t Close Your Eyes, Parkway Drive have rapidly accumulated a loyal fanbase Australia-wide, courtesy of support slots for international acts including Hatebreed, In Flames, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Alexisonfire, and performances at Metal for the Brain 2005 and Australia’s Hardcore 2005. They have built quite a strong reputation within the music industry, this led to their signing with Epitaph record labels.
