Here's some more info on Pistol Day Parade!



In the year 2007, the emergence of "Pistol Day Parade" in the Detroit music scene forged together the talents of five highly respected musicians! With a perfect blend of originality, profound creativity and years of experience combined under the lights, "Pistol Day Parade" is forcing the music industry to pay attention...

"Pistol Day Parade" is the brainchild of frontman, Fuller (RLBX) who quickly enlisted his former band mate & lead guitarist, Steve "Guido" Johnson to complete the songwriting triangle that existed in past projects! While they were auditioning musicians for the material that would eventually birth "Pistol Day Parade," the two found a true diamond in the rough in bassist, Rick Suhayda (Elixir)! Next, adding depth & familiarity to the overall sound, "Pistol Day Parade" brought in longtime friend and rhythm guitarist, Rob Banks (Bridge)! The final addition was made after searching for the perfect drummer, where they extended a warm welcome to Randy Watson (Killer Flamingos)!

"PDP" is currently in the studio recording their debut album with producer, Mike Brown (Breaking Benjamin/Papa Roach/Velvet Revolver/Three Days Grace)
Their much anticipated release is slated to temporarily hit the shelves by summer 2008, and you'll be able to pre-order your copy very soon!
