Parking Garage

About

Well, if we haven&#39;t said it already... Parking Garage is an alt rock power trio based in Athens, Georgia, with guitarist/singer Nathan Whatley, bassist/singer Dakota Snow, drummer Zach Ross, and trumpeter Rafal. The group started in 2017 as a high school passion project between Whatley and Snow, recording for countless hours on Whatley&#39;s Blue Snowball microphone in Snow&#39;s grandma&#39;s spare room. The band&#39;s name came from the songs Snow wrote while waiting in the parking garage to see his dying grandfather in the hospital. This culminated on the album <a href="spotify:album:6RRq2Y1GrJrSXujj3p6T6e" data-name="Jaguar">Jaguar</a>, where depressing subjects were paired with poppy hooks. Wanting to perform this set live, Whatley and Snow recruited a myriad of drummers before settling down with Ross, a college friend, in late 2018. With a more streamlined set-up, Parking Garage released a new batch of tracks during May 2020, the <a href="spotify:album:1UArHUUFPgCjSOrW8jADap" data-name="Summer Bummer EP">Summer Bummer EP</a>, the first to be produced by Athens legend <a href="spotify:artist:5pGJ2a685S8LA9MXzKO6Hg" data-name="Jesse Mangum">Jesse Mangum</a>. The band took a hiatus during 2021 to focus on school and avoid COVID, but returned with <a href="spotify:album:5mFPYFxutpXmQhKyf0udfJ" data-name="If We Haven&#39;t Said It Already">If We Haven&#39;t Said It Already</a> in 2022, produced by now-acclaimed indie producer Tommy Trautwein of <a href="spotify:artist:63b6NAhp62N7IHS44ZT15F" data-name="Well Kept">Well Kept</a>. This is where Rafal joined, adding brass and new dimensions to Parking Garage. Now, in 2023, Parking Garage is set to release their most ambitious single yet: the twelve-minute power pop epic &#34;Six Finger Handshake,&#34; produced by Trautwein. Described as &#34;deeply personal&#34; and a &#34;daring sonic trilogy,&#34; this new single is a whole other beast altogether.
