Worth checking out if you are into weird, upbeat rock music, Parquet Courts are an eclectic NY based group that is somewhat punk, somewhat talking heads esque, led by a man who definitely was a big Clash fan (London Calling review soon!). You may ask, how do I hear about these groups? Nunya. Might as well exit off this post now.
Also I’m trying the new intros with recs. Reggae.
This band is another that checks the box for being able to deduce how you feel about them immediately, and another band that has some weird lead singer stuff going on that you might hate. Again though, like the Violent Femmes but in a completely different way, if you can get behind their weirdness, then you might really dig this band. They’re not my favorite, but they definitely have some fun, groovy songs. The song below is my favorite by a pretty wide margin and is definitely great.
Lastly, top 10 album cover to grace the blog.
Favorite songs: Total Football, Mardi Gras Beads, Almost Had to Start A Fight/In and Out of Patience, Normalisation, Back to Earth, Wide Awake
