Exclusive Stream: “Golden EP” by Parade Of Lights

/ Bands, IMF / , / 6 Comments

I first heard LA band Parade of Lights back in 2012 with the Big Pink-ish sounding “Just Give It Up”, off the Born to Live, Born to Love EP.  Last year, they caught my ear again with the super-catchy “We’re The Kids”, which I just had to feature on IMF vol. 10.  During Sochi, the band went three-for-three with the killer Olympic anthem “Golden”, which was featured in NBC’s Winter Olympics TV ads.  Having recently debuted at SXSW and announcing a tour with X Ambassadors in April, the band are surely on a roll right now.

Today, we get to hear a few more tracks from the band, as they’re 1 day away from releasing their “Golden” EP and Indie Music Filter has an exclusive steam of the EP.  For fans of The Naked And Famous, M83, Magic Man, check out the “Golden” EP by Parade of Lights.
