Filed under: The Parkas
As children of rock and roll showmen, the Parkas were raised on British invasion records, schooled in Northern Ontario punk shows, and baptized in an undercurrent of Stax Voltage. Composed of 2 brothers, a cousin and a best friend, the Parkas are not here to save the life of rock music, they are simply inheritors of their forefathers’ beat and sound. Now This Is Fighting is the Parka‘s first full-length release, recorded in Andy Magoffin’s House of Miracles — an album that combines pop harmony, country pathos and rock-n-roll swagger.
Genre: Indie Pop, Gritty Rock, Power Pop
Sounds Like: CCR, Rolling Stones, The Band
“Damn fine. The London four-piece hone their quirky live energy into sparkling ditties that show off a penchant for breathy harmonies, wicked hooks and an underlying current of back-tobasics pop smarts…a first-rate debut.” - Now Magazine
