What you say
No-one has reviewed Attack of the Hundred Yard Hardman by Parka yet.
What the label says:
Hot on the heels of their January single release Disco Dancer, the
insatiable Parka will be releasing their third single, Better Anyway,
on 21st April. The third track to be taken from their debut album
Attack of the Hundred Yard Hardman (produced by Iain Gore –
Rumblestrips, Kid Harpoon, Blood Red Shoes), Better Anyway is a perfect
example of what is being touted in the press as Parka’s own brand of
‘skindie’ mixing ska and indie to create the distinguishable sound
behind this fast-paced anthem.
January was a heady month for the
Parka camp; Disco Dancer made Alex Zane’s Record of the Week on his Xfm
Breakfast Show, and while the video was played on Q TV the track was
hailed by the press as a “100mph punk workout”. Disco Dancer was
playlisted on all four Xfm stations around the country and Matt’s
forward roll while playing guitar went down in Winter Wonderland
folk-lore when the band were invited to play a set at the Scottish
event in December. The single was reviewed extensively in national and
regional publications including The Sun and Music Week, it received
strong support from the Scottish media and this enthusiasm looks set to
continue in the run up to the release of Better Anyway and the album
with features confirmed in Scotland on Sunday and The Daily Record. The
band will also record a session for John Kennedy this week to be
broadcast closer to release.
Hailing from Scotland but now based in
London, Parka have toured with the likes of Foals, Boy Kill Boy, The
Young Knives and played with The Twang and Stereophonics at XFM’s
Winter Wonderland amassing a legion of supporters along the way. High
profile fans include Zane Lowe, and Xfm Scotland’s Jim Gellatly as well
as the people at Urban Outfitters who invited Parka to play their
Glasgow store after their triumphant King Tut’s homecoming show in
January. Needless to say the store was rammed with stylish Parka fans.
