Sound of Parka and their incredible story:
Born from Passion, fueled by Dutch windmills and created to bring new and exciting Rock ‘n Roll music.
Modpunks, Hippierockers, Bangers, what ever you’d like to call them. Happy songs in dirty waters. Dark edges with a silver line. Howling winds and burning rooftops.
All four Parkans were born in the 80’s in Stellingwerf, a rural district in the southern part of Friesland in the Netherlands.
Before they started to combine there powers to make Rock ‘n Roll music, the Parkans already moved to different city’s all over the country. At the time being Herwin and Simon reside in the city of Utrecht, while Alex and Dennis hold their fort in the city of Leeuwarden.
Nevertheless the Parkans always come together to write songs and practice on there ‘root ground’ of Stellingwerf.
In its current formation Sound of Parka has been together for almost three years now. In that period of time the four Parkans played at several festivals, bars and happenings and have recorded a demo (2006) and the EP The New Thing (2008) with the help of their producer Cees Pols. He also worked with Rude Boy from Urban Dance Squad and is known to be an excellent producer, just check out the Sound of Parka.
