As children of rock and roll showmen, the Parkas were raised on British invasion records, schooled in Northern Ontario punk shows, and baptized in an undercurrent of Stax Voltage.

Composed of 2 brothers, a cousin and a best friend, the Parkas are not here to save the life of rock music, they are simply inheritors of their forefathers' beat and sound.

Now This Is Fighting is the Parka's first full-length release, recorded in Andy Magoffin's House of Miracles -- an album that combines pop harmony, country pathos and rock-n-roll swagger.
