Parker Woodland: “Get Me to the Show”

By: Taylor Wallace

Austin’s Parker Woodland are back with potentially their rawest song yet, and certainly my favorite one to date. Standing firmly in their vintage pop-punk sound comes “Get Me to the Show,” a punchy tune packed with earwormy hooks and raw, female-led energy fueled by Erin Walters’s signature vocals pivoting between pop harmonies and Sleater-Kinney-like attitude .

Akin to the Waitresses doing the theme song to Square Pegs, this song sounds like a cool band decided to write a TV sitcom theme about a budding, cool girl music nerd. She doesn’t want to be in the band; she just always knows about them first and wants everyone to listen to them. She’s no gatekeeper!

Upcoming Parker Woodland shows:
9/19 Joan Jett’s B-Day Bash at Meanwhile Brewing Co., 7:30pm
9/21 Austin Peace & Justice Fest, 12 noon-7pm at Princeton Palace
9/23 HAAM Day showcase, The ABGB at 6pm (w/ Nakia and Nik Parr)
9/30 Continental Club (Austin, TX) tour homecoming & “Get Me to the Show” single release, 6:30pm

Produced by Flora and Fawna’s Mason Ables, “What Happened” is cozy and laid back with a midtempo pulse of drum machine momentum and affixed with lots of […]

Ratboys: “What’s Right?” [Live In Studio 1A]

Formed in 2010, Ratboys began as a humble duo by Notre Dame Freshman Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan. By 2017, they’d become a fully-fledged four-piece, relocated to Chicago, and were opening for acts like Soccer Mommy and Diet Cig with heaps of critical praise to line their nest (I assume all ratboys build little nests […]

It offers a glimpse into their unreleased album Apollo 95, a cinematic, genre-blending journey through grief, love, and the full spectrum of human emotion, where […]
