Parkway are my favourite band but Winston looks just anxious and worn out almost like he mentally is crumbling and doesn't look like he can do this much anymore
This band is just something else. The fact that just couple of surf kids touring their asses off in a van, playing wherever they could all over the world came to be one of the headliners on metal festivals. I remember when they had their first show in my country there were like 50 people at the show, and then some year and a half they came back and that same venue was packed that you couldn't even fit a needle inside.
I got to meet Winston a few nights ago on Ship-Rocked and he is genuinely the sweetest person I think I've ever met. Just so chill but happy at the same time and seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to everyone who came up to him. I'm not even a huge metal fan (ended up being dragged onto the ship after a family member passing) and I won't lie Parkway had me headbanging. Overall just a great guy and would love to meet him again
Darker Still is a fucking masterpiece, that is all.
Winston gets too much shit for a frontman. He’s a human and lukewarm PWD fans treated him like shit for the most recent record.
Parkway Drive as a whole is such an humble group of guys. Given their achievement and status they still were "just that band" back in the day.
Gotta luv this humans.
On something extremely trivial….Going to push back on the last part about Byron, this has been a place for the wealthy for a long time. This didn’t happen just before Covid, so I’m not sure why he said that. Also, I work at one of the dive shops he is talking about 😂
Traveling 6 hours in two weeks to see them for the first time in New York!
CLICKBAIT TITLE
Growing up in Australia in the mid 00s, Parkway were massive massive in the underground metal scene, all of the metal kids would talk about how great they were in school. Good times!
The guys are one of the best live bands going, I see them every time they tour
he's literally Buzz Lightyear
Winston is the best. Sucks that i don't like any of their new tunes but i'm glad they're just staying true to themselves. Horizons will likely be my favorite metalcore album of all time 🙏
Not impossible, you did it.
Pheww, I took this out of content at first Finn lol. Watched the abc interview on Australian story previously, and once I started watching I got. Great interview
As a Syracuse native, hearing this man shouting out Earth Crisis, despite their huge impact on the scene, sent chills down my spine. Viva the under dogs!
On yah Winston keep the shit rockin cobba... ....
Fantastic interview!
This interview is so badass! I had tickets to see them earlier in the year. Unfortunately they canceled the tour and it didn’t happen. I was super bummed but I’m so glad they took the time to figure out their shit! Winston is such a genuine dude and I love his breakdown of the music industry. The new music is not my favorite but I’ll support these guys no matter what! Can’t wait to attend a Parkway Drive concert in the future.
