Growing Taller album reviews
Music.net.nz "Parallel Park are creating something very different, unique, and of incredible quality in terms of songwriting, performance, and production"... "To call it indie pop rock is like putting it into an existing box when it’s something unique that deserves to proudly stand alone"... "This is what the mainstream needs more of".

Max Johns, Spinoff: "Parallel Park are youthful and serious, impressively complete for a band that played Rockquest a couple of years ago. There are groovier moments, grungier bits, radio-ready pop songs. A well-compiled album with range and chops."

The band, playing together since intermediate school in 2017, comprises Zac Irving (Bass), Maisie Lucas (Drums), Florence McNabb (Vocals), Ethan Carde (Guitar), and Kahu Sanson-Burnett (Guitar, Keys, Production).
