Nashville blues-infused Southern rockers Parker Barrow return with their first new music of 2026 with their latest single “Blinded” released Wednesday April 29^th. The single is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

The track is part of the band’s upcoming highly anticipated sophomore album Hold the Mash, which is due for release on Friday July 17^th. The album is available to pre-save HERE.

The new album features songs from last year’s Hold the Mash EP, including the singles “Make It,” “Novocaine,” “The Healer,” and “Glass Eyes Cryin’,” alongside four new songs.

“Blinded” was written by Parker Barrow drummer and founder Dylan Turner, along with guitarist and musical director Alex Bender. Parker Barrow will be on the road in the U.S. for much of the summer, before heading to the U.K. in July for the band’s first headline tour, plus performances at the Steelhouse and Maid of Stone festivals.

“It was one of the first tracks written and recorded for the new album,” says guitarist Bender about the new single. “It helped to give a bit of direction to where we hoped to go with the tracks that were to follow. The main riff sounds very Stonesy. I approached the rhythm guitar parts how I would imagine Keith Richards would play them if he was in the band. Blinded is a good example of the less is more approach where the beauty lies in its simplicity.”

Regarding the lyrics, Turner adds, “It’s so easy for us as musicians to be enthralled by the world we live in, seeking validation from likes and comments that feed the flesh rather than the spirit. I wrote this as a reminder to myself to first seek the kingdom and to not forget the bigger purpose.”

Parker Barrow are led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums). The band name is taken from Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow – the infamous American bank robbers during the early 1930’s Great Depression.

A random encounter in 2019 paired Kane with Turner, who was on the hunt for a new singer. Two weeks later they were on the road together, driven by one goal: making their musical dreams a reality. In 2023 Parker Barrow expanded with the full-time inclusion of guitarist and musical director Alex Bender.

Turner lays down a heavy groove while Kane’s electrifying, soulful vocals soar high over the top.  Bender’s inventive riffs and fiery playing pull it all together, creating Parker Barrow’s signature sound. The band is rounded out by Will Tipton (guitar), Kyle Priber (bass guitar) and Eric Safka (keyboards).

Parker Barrow’s ‘vintage-shop rock’ sound contains elements of rock, southern rock, blues and soul; but the band’s brand of music is unmistakably and distinctly their own. You will find an impressive mix of influences both old and new threaded throughout the band’s sound, including the Rolling Stones, Blackberry Smoke, Allman Brothers Band, Aerosmith, Tedeschi Trucks, the Black Crowes, Whiskey Meyers and Led Zeppelin.

Parker Barrow’s debut album Jukebox Gypsies was released in 2023 to glowing reviews from music press and fans around the world; with the single “Back To Birmingham” racking up over a million YouTube views.

Parker Barrow has earned a reputation for their powerhouse live shows – blending hard-hitting blues, classic rock swagger and modern Southern firepower. The band thrives on connecting with their fans and will continue bringing their message to the people across the US and Europe throughout 2026. Parker Barrow’s music and live shows channel the spirit and rebellion that defines true rock and roll – with no apologies.

Exploring Birdsong may be releasing their debut album in June, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t space for another fun little project in the build-up.

The band have shared a new three-track EP titled ‘Live From The Cottage’, a live stripped-back affair featuring new versions of the upcoming album’s first three singles.

Taking every song apart and rebuilding with piano and keys at the forefront, the result is sensational. A sign of just how strong the songwriting at the band’s core is, whilst adding different inflexions of emotion and energy than what has previously been shown, it’s a chilled-out yet striking 11 minutes of musical exploration. A brilliant little project and one that one-ups the ante as we approach the release of ‘Every House We Built’.

Vocalist Lynsey Ward had this to say about the project, stating, “Deconstructing the first three singles from Every House We Built for this live session has been a fun challenge for us! We’ve spent hours on the details whilst producing the studio versions with Connor Sweeney, so we hope that taking them all the way back to basics will truly connect listeners with the messaging behind these songs. We are so proud of Every House We Built, and we are excited to show Romanticise, 42, and You Like It Best When It Hurts in a new light.”

‘Every House We Built’ is set for release on June 26 via Long Branch Records. The band will be heading out on the road for a string of headline shows later this year. Here’s where you will be able to catch them.

Honey Revenge are back with another new track, and they aren’t taking any shit from anyone with this one.

It’s called ‘Run Your Mouth’, and though it sounds sugary sweet on the surface, it takes aim at those supposed friends who leave a bitter taste. A seething takedown of the individuals that push the limits and speak on things they shouldn’t, it’s delivered with a devilish grin and an insatiable attitude. A stance that comes second nature to the duo and that they embody beautifully.

Vocalist Devin Papadol had this to say about the track, stating, “Friend breakups hurt more than romantic ones and I’ll die on that hill. There’s nothing worse than finding out someone you were once so close with is running their mouth about you. ‘Run Your Mouth’ expands on the age-old experience of the rumor mill, and how much it hurts to be the topic of gossip. Sometimes the only real solution to being badmouthed is to tell everyone to shut up!”

It comes hot on the heels of ‘Hot Commodity’, which sounds a lot like this:
