Rising stars: AFTERLIFE PARADE lunedì, 18 luglio 2011 01:54 by madseason
Let me introduce you a little known band from Nashville, TN... Afterlife Parade is the young creature of talented singer/songwriter Quinn Erwin. As a solo artist, Quinn has been writing and performing for the past 12 years. He released his first EP in 2009 followed by a full length in 2010. Most recently, he was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2010 Jansport Battle of the Bands.
Released on January 31, 2011 and produced by Jeremy McCoy (bass player for The Fray), Afterlife Parade's debut EP "Death" is the first in a two-part concept album of sorts.

The songs focus on fate, the end of the world, the death of an ideal, and the comfort from the dying to the loved ones they leave behind. 

"Death" is an interesting EP of alternative and melodic rock tracks with a slight U2ish vibe, all delivered with great passion.

Each of the five songs (+ intro) is an element of a dark, soulful, hypnotic soundscape: a mesmerizing experience indeed, and a record that grows on you after repeated listenings.

According to Quinn, the companion EP "Rebirth", to be released on August 8, 2011, is the exact opposite of "Death": upbeat, percussive and a bit electronic. I'll talk to you about it later. Meanwhile, head on to Afterlife Parade bandcamp site, enjoy their music and become a friend of the group through their facebook page!
