The Park Race - Grape / (Yeh) Hey
double A-side release
Teenage dreamers generally come from small, community-based outposts where everyone knows each other and nothing ever changes. Based around reflective and ambitious song writing, The Park Race are no exception. The band hail from the diminutive town of Chesham, nestled into the heart of home counties commuter land. Each given the choice of becoming another faceless suit or one more drunken brawler, these four comrades drew a wild card and chose the less-travelled road of visionaries.
Armed with refreshing optimism, raw talent, and untiring determination, The Park Race have managed to hold it together as they transitioned individually from sanguine teenagers to focused men. That solidarity is perhaps the thing that gives the band such a unique perspective from which to see their surroundings. In a time when some say dreaming is foolish, these four revolutionaries dare to be fools.
Influences fling from far a field, combining the ambitious outlook of the Manic Street Preachers, the melodic folk sensibilities of Neil Young, and the reflective lyricism of Counting Crows, to produce a folk-tinged, indie rock sound to fall in love with.
Live Dates:
Thursday 1st June- The Pleasure Unit, Bethnal Green
Thursday 29th June - Upstairs @ The Garage, Highbury
Friday 7th July - Indy Jax, Hemel Hempstead
Thursday 13th July - Number 10, London
Monday 7th August - The Horns, Watford
