Parkway Drive Three years ago Parkway Drive were nothing more than a bunch of kids from Byron Bay playing the music they liked to sweaty guys with tattoos at the local pub. Today, Parkway Drive now stand at the forefront of Australian hardcore, boasting full-frontal live intensity, an insatiable musical ability to create unique, punishing metalcore music, and are now returning to Australia brandishing a new album after the crushingly successful first full-length 'Killing With A Smile'.

Earlier this year, I blissfully found myself at London's Brixton Academy, standing in a sold out crowd waiting for Bloc Party to take the stage. There was a lot of hype for one of the support acts, a band I'd never heard of back home. That band was Scottish act Biffy Clyro. As their incredibly intense hard-rock set played itself out, I couldn't for the life of me work out why they were supporting Bloc Party but was nonetheless impressed enough to pick up their last album, 'Infinity Land', the next day. It was an absolutely insane mixture of heavy rock, indie pop, metal, prog - everything you could throw a guitar, a bass and a drum kit at. Good, sure, but not great. Then, about a week ago, I started listening to their new album, 'Puzzle'.
