Brian K & The Parkway releases "Killing the Bear"

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Brian K. Pagels and Stephen Russ, the DC-area duo, Brian K & The Parkway, released their debut album Killing The Bear on March 29, 2024. The nine-song collection, a nod to the '70s rock sound of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Warren Zevon, is guitar-based, roots-oriented rock, infused with a healthy dose of soul and R&B. Piano and organ play a critical role in establishing the sound along with some horns thrown in for good measure. The duo dubs their sound "coastal heartland rock," reflecting the fact that their major influences are artists that hail from coastal areas such as New Jersey, Florida, and California, but are known for their own mix of classic heartland rock.
