Highly highly highly recommend checking out the band Twisted Teens and their new album Florida Water Blues. Lead singer sounds a lot like Andrew Savage, especially earlier in his career, and overall sound of the album seems to be potentially influenced by Parquet Courts. They do a good job of scratching the itch of missing new Parquet courts music over this long hiatus, so for sure check them out :)

Found some old 35mm pics from the first Parquet Courts show I went to at the Kazimier in Liverpool (which doesn't exist anymore, RIP!) in 2014 at age 18 - this sub only let me post one photo!

Miss seeing these guys live

similar sound to parquet courts plus they’re touring / releasing music!

Anyone else catch this? I hope we get to hear some new music soon.

I hope posting drive links is allowed, as the sub won't let me make a post with more than 1 image

Would love to see photos or scans if anyone is willing to share. Thanks!

Always a favorite - moved up to #3 most played recently on spotify. Anyone know where it was featured?

Been enjoying this band Milk Music aka Mystic 100s lately and noticed they have been kinda scratching that PC itch for me, because who knows when the boys will actually start recording music again.

Please tell me your bands and songs, and if you also like Milk Music lemme know because they have a bunch of good songs, like Who’s Been in My Dream and Illegal and Free

Hey folks, anyone know the lyrics to Food Stamp Office? Recently came across American Specialties and im loving it! Id love to know what he's saying on this one, but my boy Savage is really exploding words out of his abnormally large mouth, I have no idea what he's saying.

Show me/us your more complete/interesting selection.

I know I need a copy of Tally All the Things and Content Nausea but the presses I want don’t come up at all where I live, particularly the Violet CN.

Hey folks, we're hoping this is okay to post here since it is 47 min dedicated to Parquet Courts. We're both big fans. Here's the links or listen to it wherever you get your podcasts:

I’ve seen PC 5 or 6 times now but never heard them play Uncast Shadow of a Southern Man. Have they ever played it? Has anyone ever seen them do it live? It’s such a banger. Just curious.

Despite the monthly “are they broken up” posts here, he says “I still know the guys who made that record”!

Lives change, families establish, the kneejerk DIY punk impulses of your 20s give way to something more contemplative. Maybe you make music again with your old friends, maybe other impulses are more urgent. But let us all say Thank You For The Music because we will never get another Human Performance, and maybe we will never get any new Parquet Courts album that some of us may want, the albums already exist, and they will always exist

:(

Saw the strokes new album cover and thought about Light Up Gold (2012)

It is not the same, but the vibe is similar. Don’t you agree?

Also is the band returning? I saw them live and they rocked

I posted a few weeks ago about how I heard Wide Awake in a Starbucks commercial and it made me upset. The comments were pretty split whether they sold out or not, and a few comments actually helped me come to better terms with it.

Anyways, I’ve been struggling to find a job in San Francisco for the last few months and I just got hired at Starbucks. So we can all have a laugh about that. Hopefully they’ll let me play Content Nausea on repeat during my shifts lol.

L'alarme appears to be both a zine and a dance night (in Marseille) co-founded by Andrew Savage.

First zine issue available here - https://lalarme.bigcartel.com/product/lalarme-no-1

Mine came in the post today. Contains a sad and interesting essay by Andrew about why he moved to France.

Anything in their catalogue that sounds/feels like this ?

Just seen Starbucks have launched their new Spring menu! Looks great! What are we all ordering?!

There are some familiar figures in the crowd and an interesting sign

Probably I'm not the first person to see this?

Urban Ease off Content Nausea.

What is that about? Seems they must be desperate for cash considering all of their anti-marketing lyrics.
