This is what happens when Brian Wilson, Anton Newcombe, and Kevin Shields take off their clothes and have sex in a cacophony of sound. The product of their love is the Grandparents, rolling along a tape track of bends, twisting tones, and sweet-sweet harmonies drenching the listener in the warm syrupy tones of their minds. Formed in 2009 when an old group of friends met new ones in dorms across Portland, Oregon. Their love of sonic experimentation and manipulation has resulted in pure psychedelic swoons that reflect the love of their namesake. .

Formed in 2009, Parents have become a mainstay of the Auckland hardcore punk community. Creatively influenced by bands such as Orchid and Swing Kids and underpinned by the frantic energy of Bad Brains and Black Flag, their sound blends melody and discordance into an unpredictable, cathartic haze. Following a tour with Loma Prieta (USA) and various international support slots including Suicidal Tendencies throughout 2012, Parents prepare to release their debut 12”. Live, they perform short and sharp sets that embrace chaos and avoid restrain. .
