Parade Ground

Parade Ground, the Belgian electronic duo formed by brothers Jean-Marc and Pierre Pauly in the early 1980s, have spent decades crafting moody, synth-driven soundscapes that blend coldwave minimalism with danceable post-punk energy. Known for Jean-Marc’s haunting vocals and their knack for icy, hook-laden melodies, the brothers emerged from Brussels’ underground scene, earning cult status with their raw, atmospheric sound. After a hiatus, they reignited their creative spark in the 2000s, proving their style remains timeless. Recent releases like *Sanctuary*, *A Room with a View*, and *The Golden Years* showcase their signature mix of pulsating rhythms and brooding elegance, while tracks like *Cut Up* and *The Net* keep their retro-futuristic vibe fresh for new generations of darkwave enthusiasts. Still serving sharp, stylish synthwork, Parade Ground continues to bridge the gap between ’80s underground cool and modern electronic allure.
