Derry Punks Parker Share New Single “Superhero”

Punk newcomers Parker, hailing from Derry, Northern Ireland, have shared their latest single titled “Superhero.” Produced by Cahir O’Doherty (New Pagans, Fighting With Wire, Jetplane Landing) the new track is a classic call back to the pop-punk breakup track, bursting with energetic drums, catchy guitar riffs and earnest lyrics. 

Commenting on the song, singer and guitarist Dylan Bradley says: “I wrote this song as the second of two songs detailing a fictional breakup from two different perspectives. The first song didn’t make the final cut but “Superhero” certainly did, and I’m very glad of that as it’s one of my personal favourite tracks of ours.”

Parker was born out of the frustrations of the pandemic in 2020. After returning from a tour cut short due to COVID, Bradley began writing and recording material in his bedroom with the aim of starting a new band. Once the songs started to come together, he began working on them with drummer Michael Brown, the two of whom had been playing in punk bands together since 2012. Not long after, former tour buddy and long time friend Eoghan Donegan signed up on bass, and the band spent the early part of 2021 rehearsing their songs in preparation for their debut live outing that September.

Since then, the band have played relentlessly across Ireland and the UK. In January 2022 the band entered the studio to begin recording their debut album. “Superhero” is the band’s third single, with more to come.
