Riders On The Dike
‘Riders On The Dike’ is the lead track from the highly anticipated sophomore album release from alt
indie rockers Para Lia, the track also features the vocals of UK singer/songwriter Amanda Kim
Sanderson and the cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni,
a collaborative effort that runs throughout the album and that sees the artists’ work feature more
extensively. Both will feature in a forthcoming virtual music/art exhibition, date TBC.
With comparisons ranging from Phillip Boa and the Voodoo Club, Arcade Fire, The Mission, The Last
Shadow Puppets, Sebadoh and the Editors just who are Para Lia?..
Quite simply the band are René Methner (Songwriter, Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keys, Drum Programming)
and Cindy Methner (Vocals).
Their sound blending the melodic and atmospheric with the beating heart of Rene’s guitar. Pulling in
inspiration from various genre and previous generations their sound always retains the alternative
indie rock sound and mixes what’s great about retro with a good measure of freshness and originality.
Para Lia would be nothing without the soaring and ethereal vocal arrangements. René’s vocals stand
forefront, enhanced by the arrival of the splendour of Cindy’s voice.
Their debut album ‘Soap Bubble Dreams’ (2019) quickly enjoyed worldwide press coverage and
featured in 20 plus magazines, webzines and numerous blogs all unanimous in their praise for the
album. The lead single ‘Hawk Hill’ initially featured on 132 radio station playlists worldwide and
continues to see growth to date.
Riders On The Dike (with Amanda Kim Sanderson)
Lyrics
follow me, we’re on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won’t move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we’re the today’s soft option fools
i don’t know if it’s too late
i don’t know how long we’ll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don’t know if it’s too late
i don’t know how long we’ll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

“If you like your indie/alt rock served via with
a loud and crunchy wall of sound, with dark,
offbeat atmospheres, coolly droning, mysterious
lead vocals and dreamy female harmonies, Para
Lia just might be your ticket” – JW Vibe
“René’s vocals are dark and sombre but they’re
nonetheless still very appealing. We’re taken
back to the likes of New Order and also artists
such as The Smiths and The Cure. There’s also a
very grungy feel to their sound, and it all comes
together to produce a sound of their very own.”
