When Valet Parking arrived on the music scene four years ago, few would have guessed how fast they'd rise to the top of the Long Island music scene in such a brief time. In a mere 48 months, they've released two CD's, become a strong live attraction, and created a well-deserved buzz. They're not going to take over the world...just the music world.

"Valet Parking is what you get when you combine Jimmy Eat World, Mae, All Time Low, and Jack's Mannequin." -John Blenn, Publisher, Long Island Entertainment
