Parker Barrow

have announced their new single

and music video for “Blinded”

ahead of their US and UK tours. 

"With the New Single "Blinded" now released, Parker Barrow have grabbed a fistful of classic 70's Rock with a triumphant timewarp of a record. It kicks in with those familiar riffs that already surround you with a warm glow of expectancy, what is to come takes you through touchstones to all the music we grew up on and adored with sassy attitude and gusto"

- Return To Sound

The track is part of the band’s upcoming highly anticipated sophomore album Hold the Mash, due for release on Friday July 17th. The album is available to pre-order HERE. The new album features songs from last year’s Hold the Mash E.P., including the singles “Make It,” “Novocaine,” “The Healer,” and “Glass Eyes Cryin’,” alongside four new songs.

“Blinded” was written by Parker Barrow drummer and founder Dylan Turner, along with guitarist and musical director Alex Bender. Parker Barrow will be on the road in the U.S. for much of the summer, before heading to the U.K. in July for the band’s first headline tour, plus performances at the Steelhouse and Maid of Stone festivals.“It was one of the first tracks written and recorded for the new album,” says guitarist Bender about the new single. “It helped to give a bit of direction to where we hoped to go with the tracks that were to follow. The main riff sounds very Stonesy. I approached the rhythm guitar parts how I would imagine Keith Richards would play them if he was in the band. Blinded is a good example of the less is more approach where the beauty lies in its simplicity. ”Regarding the lyrics, Turner adds, “It’s so easy for us as musicians to be enthralled by the world we live in, seeking validation from likes and comments that feed the flesh rather than the spirit. I wrote this as a reminder to myself to first seek the kingdom and to not forget the bigger purpose.”

Parker Barrow are led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums). The band name is taken from Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow - the infamous American bank robbers during the early 1930’s Great Depression.A random encounter in 2019 paired Kane with Turner, who was on the hunt for a new singer. Two weeks later they were on the road together, driven by one goal: making their musical dreams a reality. In 2023 Parker Barrow expanded with the full-time inclusion of guitarist and musical director Alex Bender.

Turner lays down a heavy groove while Kane’s electrifying, soulful vocals soar high over the top.  Bender’s inventive riffs and fiery playing pull it all together, creating Parker Barrow’s signature sound. The band is rounded out by Will Tipton (guitar), Kyle Priber (bass guitar) and Eric Safka (keyboards).Parker Barrow’s ‘vintage-shop rock’ sound contains elements of rock, southern rock, blues and soul; but the band’s brand of music is unmistakably and distinctly their own.

You will find an impressive mix of influences both old and new threaded throughout the band’s sound, including the Rolling Stones, Blackberry Smoke, Allman Brothers Band, Aerosmith, Tedeschi Trucks, the Black Crowes, Whiskey Meyers and Led Zeppelin. Parker Barrow’s debut album Jukebox Gypsies was released in 2023 to glowing reviews from music press and fans around the world; with the single “Back To Birmingham” racking up over a million YouTube views. Parker Barrow has earned a reputation for their powerhouse live shows – blending hard-hitting blues, classic rock swagger and modern Southern firepower. The band thrives on connecting with their fans and will continue bringing their message to the people across the US and Europe throughout 2026. Parker Barrow’s music and live shows channel the spirit and rebellion that defines true rock and roll - with no apologies.
