Lonely Parade

**Lonely Parade** is a scrappy indie rock trio hailing from Peterborough, Ontario, known for their DIY charm, deadpan wit, and sticky guitar hooks. Formed in 2016 by Charlotte Dempsey, Meg Frampton, and Maddy Wilde, the band serves up a crunchy blend of garage rock, post-punk, and slacker-pop anthems that tackle millennial angst with a mix of self-awareness and sardonic humor. Their 2018 debut album *The Pits* (featuring fan favorites like the title track and “I’m So Tired”) solidified their rep for writing relatable bops about boredom, burnout, and bad vibes, all delivered with a shambolic energy that feels like a late-night chat with your messiest friend. Between swapping instruments, touring North America, and packing their songs with cheeky lyrics about Olive Green cardigans or dissecting toxic friendships in “Not Nice,” Lonely Parade carved out a niche as Canada’s answer to *your* favorite band you swear nobody else knows about.
