(JEEPSTER RECORDINGS)
The ancient art of melding guitar to dance beat is a distinguished one. The heady days of Madchester taught rockers how to rave and vice versa, Parka are merely the most recent chasers of the same musical mecca.
These Scots have already scalped Alex Zane for their fanbase with breakout single 'Disco Dancer', which merrily channels Franz Ferdinand's 'Michael' with a little less style.
The jewel here seems to be 'DJ In The Corner', which sees 90s flame-haired indie-dance gulderer Saffron from Republica revisit her stock in trade.
'Attack Of The Hundred Yard Madmen' is deceptively difficult to listen to - because no matter how much your feet want to do their stuff, there is the mouldy whiff of yesteryear around the whole damn thing.
