Exile Parade
UK musical group
Exile Parade were an English rock band from Warrington, Cheshire.
History
Exile Parade formed in the summer of 2006. After hearing the band's early demos on MySpace, producer Owen Morris and Oasis guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs went to see the band perform. They were signed by Dutch label Suburban Records, and played alongside artists such as Florence and the Machine, Cage the Elephant and Mystery Jets. Soon after, Exile Parade were working with Morris at Real World Studios. Rock writer Mick Middles called them "the most promising band to emerge in the last five years". In April 2008, the band's song "Fire Walk With Me" broke into the Mediabase Active Rock Top 100 in the U.S. They were the highest-placed British band in the chart that week. Suburban released "Fire Walk With Me" on limited edition 7" vinyl, and Dutch station 3VOOR12 made it their single of the week. The band played gigs in Amsterdam and at the Beeckestijn Festival. Local newspaper Haarlem Dagblad wrote, "The band sounded very tight with a huge sound, typically a band where you can say in a couple of years time just like Radiohead when they played the Beeckestijn Festival in 1993 - I was there!"
In March 2009, Exile Parade were featured in Beijing Today after picking up an online fanbase through Chinese social networking site Douban.

Why this record matters
The phrase “uK musical group” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 23, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2414179. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2008, 1993 and 2009.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
