Nashville-based Southern rockers Parker Barrow release a new lyric video for “Glass Eyes Cryin’” as they announce a return to the UK this July for five intimate club shows and a slot at Steelhouse Festival. The track, lifted from their ‘Hold The Mash’ EP, marks a turning point for the band. “Glass Eyes Cryin’ was the first song we wrote and recorded for Hold The Mash,” says drummer Dylan Turner. “We felt it was the perfect song to kickstart a musical shift to what the band has become since our previous record.”
Led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane and Dylan Turner, with guitarist and musical director Alex Bender rounding out the lineup, Parker Barrow channel a groove-heavy, gospel-tinged swagger on the track. Turner describes it as laid-back yet powerful, driven by a vocal that confronts emotional manipulation head-on and underscores the idea that actions speak louder than words. The band name itself nods to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, signaling rebellion and edge from the outset.
Since forming after a chance meeting in 2019, Parker Barrow have built momentum through relentless touring and a vintage rock sound shaped by influences like The Rolling Stones, Blackberry Smoke and Led Zeppelin. Their debut ‘Jukebox Gypsies’ earned global praise, while 2025’s ‘Hold The Mash’ produced singles including “Make It,” which landed on Planet Rock’s main playlist. With a reputation for explosive live performances packed with groove, grit and spontaneous jams, the band head back across the Atlantic ready to turn up the heat.
