CHAD QUESTIONS THE STATUS QUO WITH THEIR NEW SLACKER-POP JAM “PARK N’ RIDE”

Oregon’s newest slacker-pop quartet CHAD makes a charming first impression with their skateboard anthem, “Park N’ Ride.” The lead single from their debut LP opens up CHAD’s world like a spring blossom, full of optimism and fueled by modern rebellion. Driven by gritty synthesizers and skate park gravel, “Park N’ Ride” has a nostalgic groove to it that makes it unforgettable—especially for a debut.

Each guitar riff pushes against the status quo gracefully with a breezy defiance. A hefty bassline complements sturdy drum beats, assisting the chorus’s rallying cry without overpowering any one element. Gang vocals do the trick, deepening the song’s overall gritty texture.

Of course, such an anthem requires polished production, and it achieves that goal without taking away the song’s grassroots feel. Instead, CHAD’s DIY ethos remains front and center, presenting itself throughout their performance, mainly as momentum builds.

Sneaky hooks and slacker wisdom grace each note of “Park N’ Ride,” ensuring a bright future for CHAD. Their unique take on pop music perfectly balances nostalgic elements with modern ones, effectively positioning themselves as leaders of the next revolution.
