Profile:
Parade Ground are a Belgian band, created by two brothers, Jean-Marc Pauly and Pierre Pauly in 1981. They were pioneers of cold wave and EBM. Their first single 'Moan on the sly', was released in 1983 and they remained active until now (although they decided not to release anything between 1988 and 2007, being involved in other artistic projects such as writing and plastic art. Their style evolved during the years 1980 passing from an icy and radical cold wave to more danceable sound with stressed rhythmics and exclusively synthetic melodies, sustained by an ironical dadaist visual. They regularly collaborated with members of Belgian band Front 242, have worked with English producer Colin Newman from Wire and have written and composed on two Front 242 albums in 1994. They have often toured in various countries from Europe and have been an inspiration to many bands .
A new album, "Rosary", was released in 2007 produced by Patrick Codenys (Front 242). The band have acquired a solid live reputation (the choreography of chaos).
The future is now .

Parade Ground, as transwaves mentions below, is a vastly overlooked band. Two of their tracks rank among the masterpieces of synthesizer-based dance music: "Gold Rush" and "Hollywood". Anyone with even a passing interest in 80s progressive synthpop, EBM/industrial, or gothy new wave will be floored and delighted as they explore their catalogue. The Dark Entries label has done us all a favor by putting together a nice anthology of their work, and thanks to the interwebs many more people can now hear just how good they were...and are still, apparently, as they are still touring.

Well this one of the best bands from the 80´s who have made some original music never copied since. The mixture of synthpop and new wave is brilliant. I have followed them since the 80´s and are still very fond of them. This is a band that didn´t get enough credit for their work among the masses. Nevertheless they are a bright star in the music heaven and are still worth listening too. I figure I wouldn´t have known about them if it wasn´t for the connection to FRONT 242 but who cares? Join the club and buy yourself a stack of their records to get a peek of one of the best bands from the 80´s. I can assure you that you won´t be disapointed!
