The Brooklyn based rock quartet Parquet Courts sawed their way onto the garage rock scene with their 2011 cassette release American Specialties. Since that time they have worked with labels such as What’s Your Rupture and Dull Tools. Now Rough Trade Records announced they have signed Parquet Courts to their label, putting their catchy crunchy sounds  among former signees The Libertines and The Strokes. An appropriate and exciting progression for Parquet Courts, they will embark on tour at the end of August to support their latest album Monastic Living, to be released this November. Their Boston show is December 4th at the Middle East.
