After a critically acclaimed debut on Endearing Records (Now This Is Fighting, 2003), and a near collapse on-camera in their brutally honest tour documentary (A Life of Crime, 2006) the Parkas return at full strength with their long-awaited sophmore album “Put Your Head in the Lion’s Mouth.”

With less bounce-in-their-step and more knife-in -their-pocket, the Parkas new release borrows the ragged gospel of John Fogerty, the punk soul of the Clash, the wry grin of Elvis Costello, and finally bottles the piss and vinegar of the band’s live show. Available now on Saved By Radio & Saved By Vinyl.
