Parka release their new single, If You Wanna on May 7th 2007, the single's Produced by Stephen Hague (New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Blur).

Late 2004 and Parka lead singer/songwriter Matt Thomson, becoming tired of his music studies at Perth College of Music, decides to head back to sunny Glasgow and put his collection of home recordings to good use. Music shops, internet and colleges were scoured for players and finally February 2005 saw the birth of Parka as a 4 piece indie/electro rock outfit with the smiley energy of a drummer called Neil, the calm presence of a bassist - Ian, and the eerie strangeness of a keyboard technocrat named Mark. But it wasn't until old school friend, stoned enigma and saxophonist Bob, completed the line up that Parka found that unique and compelling ska tinge to their dance noise.

A year down the line they were offered a single deal for their manic anthem 'Disco Dancer'. Summer 2006 brought Parka to London in preparation for their debut single where they found themselves living in an old strip club in Whitechapel, resplendent with pole in the living room and chair screwed to the floor outside the shower cubicle! First time guests to the Parka residence must perform at least one initiation pole dance for the band.
