At long last PARKAS are proud to announce the release of "Ian Beale", their highly anticipated single that has been turning the heads of live music lovers across the country.

PARKAS are garage rock quartet hailing from Bristol, specialising in dirty, disillusioned, and maliciously unapologetic rock and roll. Enjoy only at maximum volume.


Parkas are slowly but surely becoming one of Bristol's most exciting new bands. Following the release of the stellar singles ‘Liquorice’ and ‘Pos’tive’ which were recorded at Sugar House Studios, the band have performed sold out headline shows in their stomping ground of Bristol at The Louisiana, Mr Wolfs and Rough Trade, as well as in the big smoke of London at The Fiddler’s Elbow and The Victoria (Dalston).


The lads have also supported some of the biggest names in the current UK scene, namely The Scruff, The Wholls, The Velvet Hands Himalayas, False Heads, Novatines, Larkins and The Snuts. Singer and frontman Matt Banks has even opened for Carl Barat and The Jackals with a solo acoustic set at Bristol’s renowned venue on a boat, Thekla.


Their latest single "Between Our Mouths" was released on July 20th 2022, and will be dropping a new track in September of this year.


PEACE AND LOVE WE ARE PARKAS

Cam Mulberry, The Bristol Gig Guide
“To say PARKAS set was electric would be an understatement, it’s more directly wiring your eyes to a mains plug socket and going bang”.


Adam Crowther, BBC Radio Bristol
“Incredible lyrics. Ridiculously talented. A brilliant, brilliant British indie rock band”
