Hip Parade are a Glasgow based indie-rock band formed in 2008. The band enjoyed early success as they made it to the Final of Channel 4's Orange Unsigned Act competition in 2009. They finished second behind fellow Scotsman Tommy Reilly. Following the show the band went onto support Stereophonics and then release their debut album 'I'll Be Your Audience'.
Released in April 2012, the Glasgow rockers debut effort was - considering the state of the music industry - refreshing to say the least. 'I'll Be Your Audience' has all the characteristics of a great album. Its loud, exuberant and driven from beginning to end. There isn't really a weak track on it (rare these days). 'Talk To Me' has a delicate, catchy riff which blends into the most powerful of choruses and 'Katie Goes Dancing' is a frantic, guitar-driven masterpiece.
If this album album is anything to go by, Hip Parade's second album should see them get the credit they deserve. If anyone enjoys listening to The Fratellis or Franz Ferdinand, you's will love these lads. The album is available on ITunes and Spotify.
