Recorded with Sheffield's legendary producer Alan Smythe (Arctic Monkeys, Pulp etc) this is track 2 from our current EP 'Breaking Ranks'.
Welcome to the Bochum Parkway section! We are a 5 piece Sheffield (UK) based band who have been together since 2003 (current line up mid 2004) and play a style of music which uses influences from indie through to electronic music. We've been likened to New Order/Joy Division and Spiritualized amongst others, and described as Techno-funk and a "formless mess" by one reviewer who didn't quite get it!Band/artist history
The original 4 piece line-up formed in 2003, but original bassist Sam Hardwick was replaced by Stephen Hobson in 2004, and James Dennis joined as synth player around the same time to boost the line up to a 5 piece. Gigging began in Summer 2004, and a small but loyal and noisy following is slowly growing. We have recorded 2 demo Cd's and also made a number of video's to accompany the tracks. All of this is available on our website www.bochumparkway.comHave you performed in front of an audience?Just Sheffield at the moment, we're still getting the hang of it but recently appeared at the Leadmill, widely regarded as the best small venue in the UK, which has to rate as a highlight.
Your musical influences
Varied...Interpol, Happy Mondays, Campag Velocet, WARP records, Smiths, Joy Division/New Order...a variety of guitar based music, and also loads of techno/dance/electronic stuff...Anything else?

Hey, just checking out local Sheffield bands. 'Danger in Numbers' has a very Faithless vibe with that synth part... am I right in thinking JP8000? Sorry... synth nerd. Oooh, that vocal is pure Richard Ashcroft - love it. It really is like the bastard offspring of The Verve and Faithless. Really catchy. Love that big delay/reverb on the vocals, it's spot on. Top stuff. Only suggestion is drop that synth back in the mix a little... it's very in yer face, kinda distracting from the rest of the track.
Nice one guys!
Danny.
