Parquet Courts, also known as Parkay Quarts, is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 2010.[1] The band consists of Andrew Savage (vocals, guitar), Austin Brown (vocals, guitar), Sean Yeaton (bass), and Max Savage (drums).
The band released their debut album, American Specialties, as a limited cassette release, in 2011.[1] The band's second studio album, Light Up Gold (2012), was initially released on Savage's Dull Tools label and later reissued on What's Your Rupture? in 2013.[1] Light Up Gold received widespread critical acclaim in both the DIY underground and mainstream rock press.[2] In 2014, the band reached #55 on the Billboard albums chart with its third studio album, Sunbathing Animal.
