Austin’s Parker Woodland are back with potentially their rawest song yet, and certainly my favorite one to date. Standing firmly in their vintage pop-punk sound comes “Get Me to the Show,” a punchy tune packed with earwormy hooks and raw, female-led energy fueled by Erin Walters’s signature vocals pivoting between pop harmonies and Sleater-Kinney-like attitude .
Akin to the Waitresses doing the theme song to Square Pegs, this song sounds like a cool band decided to write a TV sitcom theme about a budding, cool girl music nerd. She doesn’t want to be in the band; she just always knows about them first and wants everyone to listen to them. She’s no gatekeeper!

9/21 Austin Peace & Justice Fest, 12 noon-7pm at Princeton Palace
