Parker Woodland (album release), Tim Kile, Cobra Cats [inside]

Power pop-punk from a band of badasses fronted by a rainbow-sequined activist with the vocal color of Chrissie Hynde and the heart of a lion. Parker Woodland’s brand of Eighties-inspired rabble-rousing on 2021 EP The World’s on Fire (And We Still Fall in Love) provides the blueprint for debut LP There’s No Such Thing as Time. Their live performances have twice as much fire – Erin Walter standing in front of a mic belting a squall with the might of them musicians! Part two of their album release weekend doubles as a birthday shindig for Walter and Kris Patterson, whose band Cobra Cats share the bill. – Cy White
