Winston McCall and Parkway Drive just finished a national tour supporting the aforementioned bands, Shadows Fall and As I lay dying. By all reports the shows were brutal and PWD impressed as always. Catch Parkway Drive next time they visit your town or city, you will not be disappointed. In between tours, Winston has been putting his new QCD dropknee board to good use around the beaches of Byron Bay and Ballina on the New South Wales Far North Coast.
