Mascot Parade was formed back in 2003 under the name of The Buck by singer, songwriter & guitarplayer Henrik Bringås, guitarplayer Staffan Andersson and drummer Christer Teglund.

Two weeks into the bands history they found themselves in the studio recording the first demo. This demo really saw the band take off. The demo was crowned "demo of the month" in local newspaper VLT, as well as "demo of the week" on digfi.com. Close-Up Magazine said "suprise of the month" and "new kind of kick". Suddenly both Swedish and British labels started to show interest in the band and their unique sound. This unique sound could later be heard on both Swedish and British national radio.

In 2004 the band decided to sign a recording contract with a British label. In the fall of 2005 Christer Teglund was replaced by drummer Carl Ottosson. And by the end of that year, after a finished recording of a debutalbum and a whole lot of waiting for nothing, the band decided to leave the British label.

In 2007 the band decided to take things in their own hands. See the start of the recording of debutalbum number two, "Deathmatch", and this time under a new bandname MASCOT PARADE.
