A LIFE OF CRIME & THE SCARS TO PROVE IT (CD/DVD)
Available May 2nd, 2006
In April of 2004, filmmakers Jon Eagan and James Loftus followed the Parkas as they embarked on their second cross-Canada tour to support their critically acclaimed debut album NOW THIS IS FIGHTING. By the end of June, founding member Grady Kelneck had quit, and the future of the band was uncertain. A LIFE OF CRIME is a documentary about just what the hell went wrong.
**** plays like a defiant 'I Will Survive.' Did you think they'd crumble? Did you think they'd lay down and die? - EYE WEEKLY

Excellent being included in the Holiday Guide in Eye Magazine "As an elegy of sorts, YSHKUWYHTC is the album we who saw them on a regular basis always hoped they would commit to tape. The room-sound ambience serves the Rhyno brothers’ rhythm section on ripping tracks like “Isolation Pay” and “Waxwing,” while singer Michael Brown’s plaintive twang gets full exposure on “Bad Comedian.” Though it’s sad to say farewell to such a fine band, this album is the best kind of parting gift"
