Adam's Parade: Founded in Sydney, Australia in late 2019, AP has mastered the balance of pop-punk and metalcore.

Influenced by the likes of Alexisonfire, AFI, A Day To Remember and Brand New, Adam's Parade are known for their passionate vocals and high-intensity instrumentals. With piercing lead guitar, invigorating drums and visceral lyrics - Adam's Parade will transport you back to your angsty phase, or welcome to you it for the first time.
Lineup:
- Luke Koster - Vocals / Rhythm Guitar
- Mitchell Duncan - Guitar
- Matt ‘Wheats’ Wheatley - Bass
- Michael Peters - Drums
In true pop-punk form and as would be expected from a group of Australian dream-chasers, Adam's Parade are able to find humour in the heavy and enthral their audience with their high energy shows, authenticity and ‘heart-on-their-sleeve’ mentality.
Adam's Parade spent 2020 in pandemic lockdown, releasing their first tracks ‘Burying Friends’, ‘Toby, lost the game’, ‘East Coast Low’ and ‘PDK’. Following the success of these tracks on Australian radio, Adam's Parade were primed and ready to take LTMC to the stage as soon as pandemic restrictions were eased.
The band spent much of 2021 traversing the east coast of Australia, selling out venues and building a passionate and loyal fan base along the way.
“…delivered on passion and size and it’s an invigorating 4 minutes of pop punk muscle”
— Declan Byrne, Triple J
In 2022, the band set off to the UK on their international debut - the ‘God Save the Scene Tour’, delighting fans in England's most reputable dive bars in Rotherham, Newcastle, Eccles, Workington and Northampton.
In 2023, the band cast it's LTMC net even wider, sharing the stage with Pantera, Ville Vallo and Korpiklaani in Bucharest at the Romexpo Metalhead Meeting.
Unable to stay still for too long, Adam's Parade kept up the pace throughout the remainder of 2023, releasing fan favourites ‘Smokes’, ‘Three Seasons’ and ‘Politeness’ and featuring on Australian and international radio, including Kerrang and Triple J.
PLANS: Unable to tour in 2024, Adam's Parade spent last year writing their debut album ‘Sketchbook’. The 12 song LP is set to be released in full by the end of 2025, with lead single ‘Call the Captain’ having been released in February 2025.
In addition to their LP, the band continues writing independent singles including ‘I can see my house from here’, which is set for unveiling on 9 April 2025.
Adam's Parade is also set for a massive year of shows both home and abroad, welcoming new and old fans alike.
