Sleep Parade cite Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Oceansize, The Mars Volta and Opeth as influences.

Tracks like the first radio single 'Carry On' and the forthcoming 2nd single 'Passengers' showcase Sleep Parade's ability to write an intelligent high-energy rock song, where as tracks such as 'Everyday' and the epic conclusion to the album, 'Weeping Walls' display the band's desire to work outside the 3 minute boundary.

In 2009 the band announced the departure of bassist James Livesy. He was replaced by Matt Delaney, and the band also added Red Black (also a member of A State of Flux) on second guitar and keyboards. Black is no longer considered a permanent member of the band but still occasionally performs at Sleep Parade's live shows. The band released the digital EP "Mr Identify" in late 2010, featuring studio recordings of three tracks that the band had been regularly playing live that year.

In 2013, the band released their long-awaited second album, "Inside/Out". In 2014, the band announced their break-up. Leigh Davies is now a member of The Occupants, a new band formed by ex-Cog members Flynn and Luke Gower.
