Parker Woodland - There's No Such Thing as Time
Austin, Texas, power trio Parker Woodland’s new album There’s No Such Thing as Time (out Sep. 6 via Flak Records) is filled with energetic anthems that hit us with punk exuberance, pop hooks and psychedelic guitars. Each fist-pumping anthem makes you want to jump up, dance and shout along to help shape this world into a place of love and compassion, even as the Earth crumbles around you.
Parker Woodland has previously been covered at NPR, Austin City Limits Radio, Austin American-Statesman and more. They’re favorites of KUTX, including playing their Rock the Park with Luna Luna and their SXSW Rock the Shores showcase w/Waco Brothers, A Giant Dog, Saul Paul, and The Dinosaur’s Skin. They played Chicken Ranch Records 20th Anniversary SXSW Party w/ Peelander-Z, and the annual Peace Fest w/ Willie Nelson, Jon Dee Graham, Urban Heat and more. Members of the band have opened for Melissa Etheridge, White Zombie, Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers, Big Freedia, Ministry, and John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).
At its core, Parker Woodland has always been a celebration of community. All three members, Erin Walter (vocals, bass), Andrew Solin (guitar) and Keri Cinquina (drums), have been fixtures in Austin’s indie music scene for decades. Known as an activist band (with Walter an award-winning Unitarian Universalist justice leader), their anti-racist, pro LGBTQA+, socially progressive music, live shows and general stance on living is metered out with fun and energetic positivity.
“This is a record for anybody who needs joy in their life,” says Cinquina, an institution in Austin’s queer music scene. “Anyone struggling with inner demons, or is dealing with grief. We want to be a light in someone’s day.”
“We believe that music can change the world,” adds Walter. “The inspirational sparks for our songs come from grappling with heavy shit, like the destruction of the planet and the fight for trans rights. We start in those places, emotionally, then we look to see how we can extend the message and music to be life-giving to everyone.” (continue reading full bio on DISCO)
