Drawing comparisons to artists such as Coldplay, The Fray, David Gray and Counting Crows, Crash Parallel’s debut album is a combination of strong melodies and intimate lyrics. The Toronto-based quartet was formed three years ago by singer/ songwriter Tim Edwards and songwriter/guitarist Dan Saitua, later joined by Gary Rugala (bass) and John Vitellaro (drums).
To date the band has taken an organic, grassroots approach to their career while working on their debut album, World We Know, set for release May 6th, 2008. They garnered an early following through performing local area gigs, including NXNE where the response was outstanding which led to major buzz for the band at both college and online communities.
World We Know was recorded at Chalet Studios in Ontario, produced by Dan Weston (who also helped co-write “Not That Simple” and “Save Yourself ” on the album) and mixed by Mark Makoway (Buck 65, Sarah Slean, David Usher, Mat Mays).
The title track and debut single, “World We Know”, is a powerful piano infused track that challenges our generation to take action to protect our world from the difficult conditions it faces today. The track builds and builds with emotion the listener can’t help but become emotionally involved both musically and lyrically.
