The Rain Parade is one of the most influential and celebrated bands to come out of the Paisley Underground scene. Their debut, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip is a standout of the ‘80s neo-psych movement, and it still sounds fresh nearly forty years later. Throughout the album, the band couch dark lyrics about depression and madness within uplifting melodies and sunshiney musical arrangements. Songs like “This Can’t Be Today” and “Saturday’s Asylum” explore this duality with some beautiful results.
