Getting Heavy

Parkway Drive is the biggest Australian band you've probably never heard of. And they're smashing stereotypes while blowing up stadiums worldwide. The school and surfing mates started out in a garage in Parkway Drive, Byron Bay. 20 years later they are Australia's biggest heavy metal act. Thoughtful, quietly spoken and remarkably open, Parkway Drive don't fit the picture of a typical metal band. The band was built on fun and friendship but as Parkway became more successful, and the work became more intense, creative differences, unequal workloads, and pay disputes began tearing them apart. Can counselling save not only the band, but their friendship as well?
