Not to be outdone by their well-mannered mainland European countries, England has come forward, risen to the occasion, thrown down the gauntlet, and stepped up to the plate. Awash with the quality and quantity of the homegrown variety (where were you all when I was stuck there for four long years?) the Parkinsons can add their name to the ever-growing, prestigious list. Definite '77 vibes with garage styling; rawer than the Briefs, more controller than the Pokers, and a little touch of ew wave vibe as once mastered by the Exploding Hearts. I'm sure they love Johnny Thunders and the Dead Boys as much as they dig the Damned. You'll be singing this one all the way down to the off-license and back. Rocking, loud and bursting with energy.
