Track of the Day: A Festival, A Parade – If Dogs Could Talk

Alternative rockers A Festival, A Parade have announced the forthcoming release of their brand new single ‘If Dogs Could Talk’. The Newcastle outfit’s unique blend of intricate, melodic rock has already been championed by many in the North East and this newest release is sure to bring them firmly into the national spotlight.

With their sound evoking early comparisons to The National, Frightened Rabbit and Preoccupations, the four-piece, made up of Joe Allan (vocals, guitar), Reece Spencer (lead guitar), Ollie Winn (bass) and Liam Tellum (drums), have already played a number of hectic live shows alongside the likes of Maximo Park, Public Service Broadcasting and VANT and their profile is only set to rise further in the coming months.

Produced by Chris McManus (Blank Studios, Newcastle), A Festival, A Parade’s ‘If Dogs Could Talk’ is released on 19th September and will be available to purchase on iTunes and Spotify.
