Parasol
is a band that I Immediately fell in love with.
They are not so much pop punk as they are punk pop, but they definitely
also remind me of predecessors such as Dance Hall Crashers, The Muffs, Discount
and Letters to Cleo.
They
also have some more modern influences that can be heard such as Speedy Ortiz
and… Well, I don’t really know who else because the list of these types of
radical bands is somewhat few and far between.
When I
was in my youth, I went to the Vans Warped Tour to discover new bands. One of my friends was obsessed with the
Bosstones and for some reason I thought Guttermouth was going to be there… Anyway,
I found out about a lot of bands I’d never heard of before.
By
finding the music of bands like Far, Fishbone, Dance Hall Crashers, Face to
Face and others, I was also exposed to an entirely new culture that was
something much more than just a music scene.
This is the feeling that this
cassette recreates for me.
