MAD PARADE

A stalwart hardcore punk outfit from Los Angeles, California, Mad Parade have been delivering melody-driven blasts of N.Y.C. and U.K.-influenced punk-pop since the early '80s. Drawing inspiration from bands like Buzzcocks, the Clash, the Adicts, Sex Pistols, Social Distortion, New York Dolls, and Iggy Pop, the group was founded in 1982, and features vocalist Billy Ledges, guitarist Joey Kelly, drummer Mike Sosa, bassist Stevo, and guitarist DT's. Often cited as serving a pioneering role in the development of pop-punk, the group released a slew of singles and two albums (1984's Mad Parade and 1987's A Thousand Words) before calling it quits in 1988

 Mad Parade's self-titled debut from 1984 is impressive, but the band hadn't solidified its own musical personality yet. Vocalist Billy Ledges is still finding his own voice while sounding similar to John Lydon, or to a lesser extent Jello Biafra (listen to "Court Jester" or "Hollywood Vampires" for proof). Influences come shining through, including bands like Chelsea and 999, but the band is smart enough to filter these influences, not copy them. Joey Kelly's guitar riffs are fast, thick, and furious as he mixes his love for British punk guitar heroes while keeping both feet firmly planted in Orange County street punk...(AllMusic)
