He found his voice so early too, his music projects in high school allowed him to perfect it. Into college and beyond with his work on Teenage Cool Kids, he was truly able to explore more in music because of that foundation work he put in. He truly has earned where he's at right now, he has put in the work for so many years!
sounds like it's actually pretty shredded here, in a way that might not be healthy. he might just be sick or this might be late in a set/tour/whatever but it sounds like his vocal chords are kinda giving out.

One of the things I love about this band is their ability to look like they’re about to fall into total collapse at any moment, but at the same time keep it all together with perfect execution. Other than the drummer who just looks like he’s chillin, playing with Lego’s.
The Drummer is definitely channeling Charlie Watt of Rolling Stones fame. He’s so calm and collected, yet he destroys the drums with his powerful rhythm
I find it interesting that Austin and Sean are so much quieter in this performance compared to the studio performance, but Andrew maintains the same visceral raw vocals in both versions.
I remember seeing parquet courts in like 2014 with other acts when they were fairly new and thought they were a lot of fun but their latest stuff is incredible work

For all the people who are like “omg, a new rock album that’s good???”, there’s a ton of new amazing shit that flies under the radar. And also, the band Crumb is probably going to be worldwide indie darlings soon. The best modern psychedelic music I can think of.
excellent groupe et on voudrait nous faire croire que le rock est mort!!!quand j'entends tout ce qu'ils osent nous passer sur les radios françaises aie aie aie et puis des groupes comme ça ya pas photo,j'ai 60 ans et j'écoute du rock depuis mes 8/9 ans et je ne suis pas prêt d’arrêter,comme disent les damned ,si c'est trop fort c'est que vous etes trop vieux...
That BASSS LINE
Yah
And barely any footage of the bass player 😔
Mmm hmm
Glad we’re all here for the same reason🤝
Sean is criminally underrated. He’s always doing something cool with his bass parts!
A Savage just has the coolest, rawest voice.
What about a gentleman though?
He found his voice so early too, his music projects in high school allowed him to perfect it.

Great Bass
THOSE WHO FIND DISCOMFORT IN YOUR GOALS OF LIBERATION WILL BE ISSUED NO APOLOGY!
We are conductors of sound, heat and energy
And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start
We are conduits of clear electricity
Now you’re back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You’re an ancient now
You're an ancient now
You're an ancient now
On your own
[Chorus 1]
Rebels, teachers
Strikers, sweepers
Better protected
Whenever collected
[Verse 2]
We are troubled by your soft curiosity
But delighted to be anti everything you were taught
Are you put off by our footloose fluidity?
Have your hurt caucasian feelings left you so distraught?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Not at all
[Chorus 2]
Workers, authors
Poets, stoppers
Power resembled
If we are assembled
[Verse 3]
Only through those who stay awake can an institution be dismantled
It is dishonest, nay, a sin to stand for any anthem that attempts to drown out the roar of oppression
[Bridge]
Hesse Total Football
Twombly Total Football
Tzara Total Football
Mina Total Football
Panthers Total Football
KoBrA Total Football
Dada Total Football
Beatles Total Football
[Outro]
Swapping parts and roles is not acting but rather emancipation from expectation
Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive
Those who find discomfort in your goals of liberation will be issued no apology
And fuck Tom Brady!

Ill say it once ill say it again: best band on the map right now. This new shit is gonna be their best
Mario Galeano couldn't have said it better
Mario Galeano I follow their carreer from the beginning. One of the best bands of this decade. No doubt.
Death Grips and Autechre tho
CometCourse lol
Mario Galeano, Well, what's wrong those two?
one of the best bands to see live in a small venue
Mark DiSessa One of the best bands to see period.
One of the best bands period
One of the best period
One of best period.
Best period.
The Drummer is definitely channeling Charlie Watt of Rolling Stones fame. He’s so calm and collected, yet he destroys the drums with his powerful rhythm
Such a good song to hear again and again, love the breaks, just what we need nowadays.
Best bass player I've heard for a very long time.
Rip that bass lead! Great work, boys.
_"Can we get more hi-hats in the mix please"_
I wish they'd do that sick lead guitar line (during the "IT IS DISHONEST!" bit) live; it's so good
Cruyff
Rinus Michels
I don't think I've ever been as excited for an album
Pretty sure I got carpal tunnel just by watching the bassist
LOL
As someone who has just learnt the song on bass don't, for your own sake please don't.
@@cow4741 yeah I'm still trying to learn it
When I first heard this on BBC6 music,I thought it was a gem I had missed from 79,great song,and the album is a fine piece too.
I find it interesting that Austin and Sean are so much quieter in this performance compared to the studio performance, but Andrew maintains the same visceral raw vocals in both versions.
Oh my god. Why is this band so great to me!!
Yes indeed! I'm loving everything I've heard so far
Iggy Pop, now a presenter on BBC 6 Music, says he will play ANY song this bands plays. He would know.
I remember seeing parquet courts in like 2014 with other acts when they were fairly new and thought they were a lot of fun but their latest stuff is incredible work
Easily my favorite band of the last decade. It’s been quite a ride with these guys.. they know what’s up. They define relevance imo.
savage is his name cause savage is how he feels
I can FINALLY stop listening to music that's more than 30 years old!
ok boomer
There’s a fuckton more like this from the past 10 years... do you want recommendations?
Sounds like cleaned up punk. I dig it
JeskeyRC thats indie rock for ya
Cleaned up punk and angry early Shins.
That's what I always thought!!!
@@user-fo3yt1jq6n No its Not.
Sounds like Wire in a good way
I cannot stop listening to the new album.
Can't remember how I found out about Parquet Courts, but I love them.
THE RECORD IS AWESOME! One of the best so far this year
That bass line is so perfect.
Man, I am glad for some new straight ahead Rock 'N Roll! Go Parkay Quarts!!
Great song from a great album that like all the great albums slowly grew on me
I'm glad they gave Max a microphone
I heartily share their feelings about Tom Brady.
xTheOxx That's because you're a complete tool.
You eat ice cream; everybody knows it.
Hah, I can't argue with hating that stupid diet.
What @xTheOxx said
xTheOxx i think they might be referring to ajax and 70s netherlands
the bass puts up so much work
That Jaguar tho
Reminds me of king krule and Preoccupations, time to get hooked on this amazing band!
How do I contact these guys????
Brandon did you ever get in contact with them?? If so what was it for??
Holy shit, it’s Brandon Perna
@@ceeds.mp3 you nosey twat ha ha
Perna what are you doing on here!!!
For some reason it reminds me of Gut Feeling by Devo
You're right in a way. I love Devo
Exact same chords.

thats how i felt about 'almost had to start a fight/in and out patience'
GREAT VOICE...PASSIONATE RAW AND JUST AS GOOD LIVE AS ON RECORD
New album looks like it may be their best yet! Love everything I’ve heard from it so far!
That snare sounds great!
holy shit, that vintage Squier Bullet!
it's been a while since I liked a new rock album, Wide Awake! is just great
I love you musique
So good live!

Love that they’re putting this shit up here in Austin 🎸 - Skip ACL, we need more theatre shows from you guys.

Vasoula Tsiminaki Nice icon Allah-las
thank you, it is the cover of the album Allah-las and it's a photograph taken by the controversial photographer David Hamilton.
Yes please
Fuckin' love these guys so much 💙💙💙
Lmao, did not see the "And fuck Tom Brady" coming.
For all the people who are like “omg, a new rock album that’s good???”, there’s a ton of new amazing shit that flies under the radar. And also, the band Crumb is probably going to be worldwide indie darlings soon. The best modern psychedelic music I can think of.
Love it!
One of the best songs about football (soccer). They truly get the true meaning of total football!
You do get the real meaning of this song right?
Its NOT about soccer. I thought it was too 😂
Great words 👍
These guys remind me of Wire
Smashing.
voice totally gone and he doesnt even care he still fucking rocks it like a badass
Very Wire-y
I JUST told my son this about five minutes ago
love the last lyric of this amazing song!
Gret track! The vocals are reminiscent of Malcolm Owen from The Ruts (RIP)
One of the most British songs ever written by a bunch of Americans
The bass is fucking sick.
That jacket colddd
That kit
I love it.. I still miss TKC
What a fucking voice! I just discovered this band from melon head, I gotta lot of music to catch up on, 7 albums!
Nice!
We just ignoring this bassist tearing shit up in those verses?
great track, be mad not to buy da vinyl. please come to Australia...... again, mist yes the first time
the only new band i really love.. great song
Their first album was released in 2011, so I'm guessing you mean new to you.
I'm getting JJ Burnel singing on Stranglers songs - not a complaint! S'cool!
Like it .
Very stranglers esque
only parquet courts can make out of tune single coil guitars sound so good
excellent groupe et on voudrait nous faire croire que le rock est mort!!!quand j'entends tout ce qu'ils osent nous passer sur les radios françaises aie aie aie et puis des groupes comme ça ya pas photo,j'ai 60 ans et j'écoute du rock depuis mes 8/9 ans et je ne suis pas prêt d’arrêter,comme disent les damned ,si c'est trop fort c'est que vous etes trop vieux...
COLLECTIVISM AND AUTONOMY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
Pelé of the music
Cruijff of the music;}
