Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive, whose style "employs unclean vocals, guitar riffs and breakdowns." They didn't use clean vocals on any of their studio albums until their most recent studio album Ire, which means you might actually be be able to understand them when they come to the Mercury Ballroom on May 5. They're here to give the metalheads something to do during Derby week. Tickets are $22. Check out the video for "Crushed":
