Since the formation of The King’s Parade in 2015, the four-piece’s assured touch of classic Detroit blues with melodic, crossover pop has frontman Olly Corpe and his band evoking the crafted sounds of Jamie Woon, Leon Bridges and Son Little.

Since releasing their debut ‘Vagabond’ EP last year as well as a string of singles including ‘Bunched Up Letters’ and ‘Silhouette’, The King’s Parade have seen themselves picking up critical acclaim across CLASH, NOTION, EARMILK and THE EVENING STANDARD. They also independently sold out London’s OSLO on the last leg of their debut sold-out European tour – echoing a growing number of hype acts growing fanbases and selling out large venues completely under the radar.

This is a classic sound honed by musicians that were previously playing together more than 40 hours a week on a Hawaiian cruise ship. Think the Beatles’ unknown early gigs in Hamburg’s strip clubs and you’re about there.

Continuing with their signature style on new release ‘Gathering the Pieces of a Broken Heart’, they continue to refine a new blues blueprint that’s seeing a loyal and expectant fanbase growing by the day. An open letter of love and loss, the track further cements The King’s Parade’s status as one of the most naturally talented and hustling young acts this year.

"One listen of City Calm Down’s Movements EP is enough to hear why these guys are so hotly tipped. It’s also long enough to deduce that they know it."
Fasterlouder [Feature Album]

"Intense and frantic, [City Calm Down have] created evocative music well beyond their experience ... There are a lot of bands trying to make this type of music at the moment, but most of them aren’t (nearly) this good. City Calm Down have delivered on a major scale with Movements, and this release signals them as a major force in Australian music going forward. Definitely one to watch."
Indie Shuffle

"...City Calm Down are making music far beyond their years, and with the quality of music they’re producing currently, it would be worth keeping an eye on them to see where they end up." - 8/10
Tone Deaf

"This is patient, carefully considered art, with gorgeously arranged instrumentation and beautiful songwriting."
Inpress Magazine

"...one of the more alarmingly dense EPs in recent memory."
