So we\u2019re very chuffed about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Sanderson, producer of the band said: \u201cAt first I was quite surprised as it\u2019s not the target audience for this first release but how it came about is really encouraging for the band\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the early work of the Arctic Monkeys and other Sheffield favourites, City Parking takes inspiration from the mundane, with frequent reference to Sheffield nightlife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jade said: \u201cWe take a lot of inspiration from other bands that have come from Sheffield. But also, just life in general around Sheffield. Trying to find the beauty in some things that aren\u2019t necessarily beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Sanderson said he always welcomes diversification and feels the Sheffield music scene has become \u201cpigeon-holed\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band\u2019s frequent nod to their Sheffield roots is best displayed in their EP art which features a lit up image of the West Street Off Licence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/05\/CITY-PARKING-WEST-STREET.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52621\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jade said: \u201cJust the bright colours against the dark background and how it just stood out. Something about it I just couldn\u2019t get it off my mind. Just instantly I was like, that\u2019s the cover. I think it fits the vibe of the music really well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Sanderson, whose taste is very electric, said he wants the band to continue as they are in order to find their flare. He said: &#8220;I have no preference as to where they go as long as they stay true to their aims and goals as artists.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City Parking pride themselves on their post-punk original flare, and Mr Sanderson said they hope to not \u201ccompromise their art for success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cIt is quite hard to pin down, but it\u2019s spoken word, post punk. Christian Carlisle described it as Mike Skinner from the streets, but if she was gritty and northern, and I&#8217;m the girl. So maybe just go with that description and see for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since being played on the radio across the UK the band have received a positive response to their EP and many new listeners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New post-punk band City Parking have set the UK\u2019s music stage alight after being played on a major UK radio station.
