How did No Parents, a punk band from San Fernando Valley whose music is equal parts 80s hardcore homage and Vine-ready dick jokes, end up being declared the Best Band in Los Angeles in 2015 by LA Weekly?Well, by writing songs that are equal parts 80s hardcore homage and Vine-ready dick jokes.No Parents is a punk band made up of longtime friends (singer Zoe Reign, guitarist Ryan McGuffin, bassist Killian LeDuke, rhythm guitarist Davis LeDuke, and drummer Monte Najera) who love being from the Valley, love punk music and love each other. They also love bowling, gluten, kombucha, Kendrick Lamar, Monte (everyone loves Monte, meet him, you’ll see), and Dr. Pepper, a pretty bulletproof list for a group of punks who enjoy saying that they’re not just a band but a lifestyle.Happily, following up their debut album ‘May The Thirst Be With You’ (Burger Records), No Parents is releasing a series of singles this spring, including a 12 inch with Ring The Alarm records with fan favorite “Hey Grandma” as the A side and thirty 30-second songs on the B side, including gems like “WiFi” and “x.” The songs work both as songs as well as a document of the No Parents lifestyle, which means they sound like they’re spiked with love and Dr. Pepper.
