🎶Aroostook and Penobscot 🎵

Probably gonna play croncodile at the show on Friday

Whoa, did you know it takes the exact length of @gumparker.bsky.social 's The Brakes to make a batch of pico de gallo? Neat!

My band @gumparker.bsky.social got me an ancient can opener because I kept complaining that they don’t make good ones anymore

important news

Please come to Blue right now. Tyler is playing and then later we will play and both our guitar players are having a really good hair day

Sonically, Gum Parker leans into the scrappy, jangly corners of indie rock. It’s loose but intentional, catchy but unpolished, with just enough punk bite to keep things unpredictable. Listen to ou favorite track this week titled Two Subarus via sodwee.com/blog/2025/04...

Here's a great and totally unexpected write-up on a @gumparker.bsky.social song from the good folks at @sodwee.bsky.social sodwee.com/blog/2025/04...

And now: The fourth and final part of Rosy Overdrive's Top 100 Albums of 2025. The top 25 albums of the year!

Well I'm just all kinds of excited to see the @gumparker.bsky.social record sneaking into the top quadrant of Rosy Overdrive's 2025 list! As per always, check out the great batch of songs at the link below.

And then part 2 of the @rosyoverdrive.com top 100 also features some familiar faces! @jefftobias.bsky.social and @teenagetompetties.bsky.social both put out very different very exciting records and they appear here as consecutive even number neighbors on the list rosyoverdrive.com/2025/12/08/r...

End of Year list time is officially now! @rosyoverdrive.com (who listens to more new albums than anybody I've heard of) has the excellent Lone Striker record on the top 100

Oooh we’re on the @repeatingcloud.com comp

It’s bandcamp friday why not get yourself something pretty and give us some money

Congrats @gumparker.bsky.social for making my top this year!

Gum Parker: the band with two people who make two pies

I got too pumped up at practice and smashed in the input jack of my guitar crashing into the other guitar player (sorry Jason, thanks for agreeing to fix it)

We heart emoji our label, @repeatingcloud.com. Maybe even double heart emoji.

Guess what it’s practice night. Band practice is at seven pm tonight

Took a couple pics at @apohadion.bsky.social of @gumparker.bsky.social and a band from CT called Perennials. Both bands were quite good and also there was another band or possibly two who I mostly or maybe completely missed but def didnt get any blurry hair movement pics of.

I don’t think I ever shared this on here. These are the potential album titles we had before deciding on The Brakes

hey look, it’s gum parker! @gumparker.bsky.social

Doing beauty rituals as a spell to have a good show

Tomorrow night! Please join us everybody!! @perennialtheband.bsky.social @gumparker.bsky.social

in 2018 this is how my kid used a school assignment to say that band practice is noisy

New England! A weekend of amazing shows with @gumparker.bsky.social @weakenedfriends.bsky.social & @novaonenovaone.bsky.social !

I simply took an existing flyer for a different show and made some modifications. (The other show already happened. No active promo was harmed.)

Alternate flyer by @girlfromspace.bsky.social for our show with @perennialtheband.bsky.social at the @apohadion.bsky.social

This Saturday at apohadion!!

Negotiating with the venue for our Saturday show in Maine to see if we can be paid in fried scallops

People never read the bio that says all our social media is run by the bass player who is not a guy

And if you read "Portland" and got momentarily excited before realizing it's the northwest one and not the northeast one, I've got some great mid-November flavored news (of course I'm not Mike Huguenor, but I'm a fan of him, which is some kind of similar)

Tonight's the night...

I love it when one of my posts gets favorited by the band Gum Parker because I know how exacting the process is. Once it makes it to the bands Signal group it had to pass a full band vote and Galen is always a stickler. In the end getting the favorite always feels like catching a rare Pokémon

Galen won’t let us cover this song for some reason youtu.be/Sq3YD7fNZTI?...

My daughter put orange juice in her water bottle and then left it at school until it solidified. I tried to clean it and a terrifying spore miasma filled the air

So honored to have this

I had a fantastic night seeing @gumparker.bsky.social with August and a friend.

Rawk show @gumparker.bsky.social

Tonight!
