"After a ten-year hiatus, the much-lauded Parker brothers return to their literate and urgent oeuvre with a new band and a new album."–ELECTRIC SOUND OF JOY

'Pessimistic Pizza'is the urgent and emotional debut mini-album from My Best Unbeaten Brother, a new South London-based trio featuring the critically lauded Ben and Adam Parker (Nosferatu D2 / Tempertwig / Superman Revenge Squad) and bassistBen Fry.

Described as "the lost pioneers of the indie-emo scene," the Parker brothers' unconventional journey has been the subject of retrospective radio stories by Public Radio International and BBC 6 Music, while their past works received raves on Drowned in Sound, The Line of Best Fit, Pitchfork, NME, DIY Mag, and The Skinny. Their first new material since 2013 reunites them with Audio Antihero (Frog / Cloud / Magana), their longtime label, and sees them cast aside their past insecurities in search of hope and meaning whilst preserving the off-kilter musical chemistry that earned the siblings fans in Los Campesinos!, Art Brut, and Johnny Foreigner.

"Some kind of alchemy, not to be repeated – a mix of tension, bitterness, and a way with lyrics that no one has, or will, match – 9/10."–DROWNED IN SOUND (Nosferatu D2 review)

The group debuted with "Slayer on a Sunny Day" in November on Joyzine's '20 Years of Joy' compilation. The song was praised by BBC 6 Music, Various Small Flames, Austin Town Hall, and Start-Track, while also getting picked up by numerous American college radio stations (WKDU / WKNC / KXSF / WMBR / KHDX).

"Angled hooks, mathematical elasticity, and unbridled ferocity, the Parker brothers are the lost pioneers of the indie-emo scene."–CEREAL & SOUNDS (Tempertwig review)

Preceded by the singles,"Time On our Hands, Spider-Man"(May 10th),"Extraordinary Times"(May 24th) and"Blues Fatigue"(June 7th), 'Pessimistic Pizza'will be released on June 28th.
