Parkway Drive is an Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales, formed in 2002. As of 2010, Parkway Drive has released three full-length albums, Killing with a Smile, Horizons, and Deep Blue, a DVD, an EP, entitled Don't Close Your Eyes and two split albums.

Their name is from the band's hometown in Byron Bay, New South Wales where the group practised in a house garage, called the "Parkway House", on Parkway Dr – the street's name.

Not long after they had formed, they released a split EP with Adelaide band I Killed The Prom Queen. Later that year, the band also made an appearance on the Byron Bay Hardcore compilation What We’ve Built, preceded by their debut EP, Don’t Close Your Eyes.

Since the release of Don’t Close Your Eyes, Parkway Drive have rapidly accumulated a loyal fanbase Australia-wide, courtesy of support slots for international acts including Hatebreed, In Flames, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Alexisonfire, and performances at Metal for The Brain and Australia’s Hardcore. They have built quite a strong reputation within the music industry, this led to their signing with Epitaph record label.
