Parkway Drive are currently on three record labels: Resist, Epitaph and Burning Heart. The band's current general manager is Graham Nixon
Resist are an independent record label and retail based store. Resist was initially set up as a shop in 1996 but then became a record label in 1998 by Toe To Toe vocalist Scott McFadyen. The company has an annual hardcore festival which features local and global bands that specialise in hardcore. The majority of the bands on Resist's record label come from Australia.
Epitaph is another independent record label, this time owned by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Originally set up in the 80s through to the 90s the majority of bands that featured on the record label specialised in punk and pop punk, as well as their being bands from the post-hardcore and emo genres. Artists that are on Epitaph record label include Big Talk (whom are The Killers' drummer, Ronnie Vannucci Jr, side project. The band specialises in rock), Bring Me The Horizon (British metal core band) and Weezer (American rock band). However the record label has also had a number of bands on their record label.

The Track
The song we are creating a video for is "Breaking Point". This song can be found on Parkway Drive's second album "Horizons".
As there is no music video for the song. I could only embed the audio track. Here is the Parkway Drive's "Breaking Point":
The song hasn't featured in any film or television show to date. It also wasn't a single therefore didn't get into the charts.

In an interview with NME, Winston McCall spoke about the band's upcoming fourth studio album. McCall said:
"We've got ideas for this record that are bigger than anything we've done in the past. We're trying to pencil it in, but we want to get in the studio sooner rather than later." The album is set for a 2012 release.
