HOW IT STARTED & TODAY'S SUCCESS
For We Demand Parachutes, the ideology is simple; work with purpose, be grateful, be humble and play every show like it’s the last. The group was originally conceived when Kevin (vocals/guitar) was deployed overseas with the United States military in 2016, and Seth (bass, vocals, synths) and Ben (drums) were working in live sound. We Demand Parachutes first existed for a couple years over Google Drive and text messages before gradually becoming a band known for its relatable writing and powerful live show.
With the release of the Outside the Null Field EP in November 2022, and the subsequent addition of Jon (guitar), We Demand Parachutes has become a true up-and-coming band in the alternative music scene. The band has played alongside some of the world's largest act's during numerous festival appearances, including Blue Ridge Rock Fest 2022 and NXNE 2023, and has shared stages with amazing artists such as The Dangerous Summer, Tiny Moving Parts, Boys of Fall, Set It Off and many more.

RECENT PRESS
Alan Day, the Four Year Strong vocalist/guitarist helped piece together the pop-punk band’s debut album, which is starting to sound like an early-2000s Best Of Rock compilation (Lit, American Hi-Fi, Nine Days). While Day certainly plays a part, full credit to the entire trio for very quickly carving out a sound for themselves that anyone can easily fall for.
"Seemingly inspired by bands like Angels & Airwaves,
there’s a visceral sound enveloped within layers of dreamy guitar melodies."
The super-polished “29” is a wildly infectious song that intentionally contrasts with its darker lyrical tone.
"We are so obsessed with this band that it’s not even funny. We Demand Parachutes takes us right back to the early 2000s when songs with this vibe were in every movie and had taken over the mainstream."
"We Demand Parachutes produce a cathartic musical architecture in the vein of Angels And Airwaves and American Teeth. They aim to balance nostalgic 2000s rock roots with the big pop hooks of today."
