Winston McCall: The Evolution of Screamo & Parkway Drive

[@andrewpelechaty7634]

The hosts are clueless about metal and Parkway, but Winston is a good sport and very polite.

[@MrBhunters]

It's the project...

[@andrewpelechaty7634]

@@MrBhunters I gave up on that show years ago.

[@user-go5em9jn5m]

I’m surprised THE PROJECT is still going. Those hosts are beyond cringe…. Winston - controlled chaos + the nicest people ever. 👍👍👍

[@mattyk82]

well they are clueless about a lot of things, but at least they tried to be nice this time

[@jonobrien94]

That dude that said he liked metal but a circle pit confused him hahah

[@hyamcacerez2538]

Only The Project would call it 'screamo'.

[@thirtyfivefifty6551]

Its so cringe hearing people call it "screamo"

[@CrystalBarnes]

lol I know right 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ bless their cotton socks.

[@leannasty]

absolute cringe. Parkway are probably the biggest band Australia has ever produced besides ACDC and this goes to show how absolutely clueless mainstream Aussies are about it.

[@Dead_Bullpit]

The only time I’ll ever watch this show is if Winston is on

[@mattburgessphoto]

agree

[@efrainchaviramora182]

X2 justo por eso llegue aqui

[@Mr83rt]

We went to the first show in Brisbane on Wednesday and to see Winston's smile not only whe they stepped up on the stage but the whole show, was genuinely something special to watch. As for the crowds... next level. My wife is 10 weeks pregnant and wasnt missing the show. We were on the floor for most of the show with about 8 random dudes keeping my wife and i protected from any unwanted bumps to mum or bubs.. It was an absolutely awesome show 🤘🤘

[@JohnnieDyer2]

Congrats on the baby! Yeah I've seen them a few times as they've got bigger and as he says it is a memorable show I still remember them all. Last time we actually got seating tickets for a change (everyone was stood up anyway) but it was in an arena and we could see the whole production from slightly above and to stage right near the front. They really are a production not just a gig

[@shemekiabrown9157]

Congratulations

[@MegaMetallicaMASTER]

Screamo ? Man I haven’t heard that one in a while.

[@that1dude628]

I saw Parkway Drive in 08 and they blew my mind. I helped them load their van after the gig.

[@ivelinakadiri3811]

I totally love this guy. So natural and nice.

[@anthonybyrne1084]

Such a humble human being, Winston is in as much if not more awe of the amount of success that PWD as attained and seems to be not taking it for granted

[@pligman1]

They put on a hell of a show! I love Parkway!

[@madboy9xx]

"I quite like metal but ive never seen one of them" Right sure mate... 😂

[@hgbbccchcccvvb8226]

Isnt metal this Rock thing? Like the Stones and noisey Bands like that?

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

Pretty much the only interview I’ve ever watched on the Project & probably the only one I ever will & in saying that, Winston did a great job with this interview 🤘😝🤘

[@CrystalBarnes]

The project makes me 🤮at least Winston’s a legend!!

[@Hardley_Normal]

Winston is the goat of heavy music in Australia from seeing them play small venues in Seaford and Melbourne to now selling out arenas and festivals around the world proud to rep the best band in the world

[@dmac6130]

He and the Parkway boys are legends.

[@lucaalbanese8967]

he seems the nicest person on earth 😀

[@Shockhorror18]

Loved the show on Sunday night. Winston is a legend!

[@KatrinaMiller-Little]

It's not 'screamo', it's metalcore; however, I am glad to see Winston in the public eye. The show was incredible. Parkway are such figureheads in the Australian heavy music scene, and what he described about being around other people that feel like you is 100% why we're all there. It is the BEST community and culture to be around ❤️

[@morriemariani9646]

Wouldn't call pwd metalcore these days

[@GoddaryuTUBE]

​@@morriemariani9646 exactly what I was thinking, it's more stadium dad rock these days and a bit of brocore chanting thrown in the mix

[@KatrinaMiller-Little]

@@morriemariani9646 I agree with you, they have definitely changed with time. Still not 'screamo', though.

[@DragonKnightX12]

@@GoddaryuTUBE I wouldn't say dad rock either, more new wave heavy metal.

[@cntry_macc]

"Winston McCall tells us how he learned to do screamo" is so insulting

[@TP-Vocals]

People who don't listen to metal have always labelled anything with screaming as "screamo". It's an easy term for them to use

[@Loki-sk7bi]

The word "screamo" makes me cringe. Lol

[@andrewpelechaty7634]

there's an Australian Story clip where Winston ACTUALLY takes us through the process and why he started screaming. It's worth watching.

[@dbmusic4114]

@@TP-Vocals what would you call it then? he says himself in this clip that hes not a proper singer. They gave him time to explain exactly what hes about. theres worse interviews than this.

[@sugarshane1985]

@@dbmusic4114 Screaming and screamo are two different things. Parkway uses screaming. Screamo is a specific genre of emo which Parkway Drive are definitely not.

[@bleachbeundone]

Winston "talks with his eyes shut" McCall!!! But seriously, I love this guy

[@brettcusack]

I remember seeing these guys at the arthouse in Melbourne playing to 50 people. I can't say it's really my thing but I would 100% go to that concert, looks EPIC!

Great interview from Winston. Parkway Drive Forever!

[@tylertheflower8221]

Ohh yeahhh right richooo ya cheeky sausage ayyyy sneaking in here, get back to Twitch

[@dubsentertainment3724]

I went on Monday and its definitely a show i wont forget and ive been to thousands of shows.

[@garretsimpson4924]

I saw Parkway in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. I see them whenever I get the chance and most recently was the show in Brisbane 6 days ago. To see where they are now compared to back in 2006 is so surreal. I can only imagine the pride they all have in what they've created. Needless to say I will be a Parkway fan, until I die, until I die. Loved the correction on the "metal terminology" I've seen it happen all too often where these journalists come in with the wrong information and nothing gets said. As trivial as it may seem THEY NEED TO KNOW!! :'D

[@GregPolkinghorne]

Screamo? Parkway? I get that emo is kind of back in but that's not how I would categorise them. Winston's a delight. What a legend. Have seen PD a few times, but sadly couldn't catch these shows.

[@CAPTAINCOOK406]

It’s just a word everyone who is unfamiliar with it understands. Instead of saying “heavy metal vocalist” which could be confused with singing

[@justinkorte3023]

So proud of the boys !! Love ya pwd 🤘

[@skylarstark802]

Was at the Perth show, was amazing!

[@I_say_what_I_want]

Geez, if I were Winston, I'd be pretty insulted with the complete disregard or lack of respect these people are pretty much showing towards his profession that he has worked hard to strive in!!

[@multioptioned]

He knows what to expect or else he wouldn't go on The Project.

[@Oryyyt]

I mean, normies just don't like getting screamed at all day the way we do. The culture shock and their bafflement is actually very entertaining and makes the culture unique.

[@Kirralee90]

At 4:00 you can hear him getting emotional 🥰 metalheads are the most genuine and caring people. Brisbane show was incredible!!!!

[@atvena]

Great interview good questions and banter

[@rj5822]

I remember AP magazine back in 09 had described PWD as, tough surfer dudes with broken hearts

[@reecemartin453]

Finally for once, the project has some actual substance

[@hardcorekid8623]

Also Winston and PWD in the early 2000s was different and the greatest point of time for that band

[@melhouse742]

"I quite like metal but I've never seen one of them." You don't like metal my man. Winston 100% on the nature of the fanbase. Heavy metal fans are genuinely the best people.

wish I could go back to the days of them playing gigs under 1000 people. those were better experiences than what I went to last week. it also helps they played better music back then too

"Screamo" omg. So clueless of metal in general. Great they had him on the show though, Parkway are an incredible band

[@jeffturkey7709]

Calling it screamo? I have not heard that in a while. Seriously, I had non metalhead friends call it that pre 2005! Maybe do research before inviting such a guest on.

[@JMEAUS22]

Calling it screamo is highly offensive

[@ondrejzahradka9189]

❤❤🤘🤘

[@Known_as_seb]

Definitely not screamo

[@vance836]

I like their music but feel Winston has a good enough voice to not have to "screamo" as much as he does. Would be cool to hear his natural voice more often.

To suggest that Winston doesn't sing is highly offensive. But Winston being as humble as possible is the best way to handle it. The singing the host is referring to is melodic singing. That's not all singing is. I can't sing as well as Winston the way he does it. Most people can't. It deserves respect no different to those who specialize in melody. That said, I have my doubts that singing isn't bad for you. All singing isn't good for your voice. And I assume Winston's singing is worse for it than a melody. It has to do something to his general voice longevity, the same way speech does. One of the ways Parkway Drive could become the greatest metal band of all time is their longevity potential. They are healthier than general metal bands. Most metal band singers break down over time. Winston seems roughly the same still. P.S. Winston doesn't scream. He shouts.
