We Are Parkas



We Are Parkas, in blunt terms, are the passion that is missing from modern day indie music.



Matt Banks (vocals), Owen Stephens (guitar), George Hopkins (bass) and Joe Strauss (drums) met at Bath Spa University in 2015 and since then have been writing and gigging constantly, perfecting their

arena sized sound and firmly establishing themselves as Bath’s most exciting prospect in indie rock.



They take inspiration from the greats. Namely the Arctic Monkeys, The Jam, The Strokes, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and others of a similar vein. With towering riffs, soaring melodies, and palpable charisma their live show is a refreshing injection of pure solid energy. It must be seen to be believed.



Their debut EP titled ’We Are The Gods’, was released on all major platforms on March 23rd, and the band are already in the process of recording new material.



‘We•Are•Parkas are one of Bath / Bath Spa University's most promising bands. Convicting, intense and uptight indie delivered with a Gallagher swagger and lashings of rock and roll like it should be.’ - Reuben Myles, RMT Productions."



‘’Think mid 00’s indie-golden era. There is a definite influence from likes of The Fratellis and Razorlight in these tunes, with the title track ‘We Are Gods’ sounding very Two Door Cinema Club to me at the start. However don’t let that take away from the exceptional songwriting in this record, with the lead singer’s outstanding voice making it all sound completely original.’’ - Sean Wise, Spice UK



Switch Violet



Combining truly classic soul vocals, blues inspired riffs, and groove for days, Switch Violet have a fresh charm, whilst unashamedly standing on the shoulders of giants like Gary Clark Jr, John Mayer and Ben Harper. The super-tight 4-piece from Bath write perfectly crafted pop songs, and have brought their electrifying live show to venues across the south-west over the past year.



Made up of front man Ben Willingham, guitarist John Bicknell, bassist Ollie King and drummer Jacob Walters, Switch Violet have a busy year planned. With plans for an EP in early 2017 and and UK tour planned for the spring, they also have their eyes on the festival scene.
