This Friday cannot come any sooner. I’ve posted so many times in anticipation of their debut album Be Impressive that I need to use a stock image of the band rather than the album cover, mainly due to the fact that it’s been done so many times in recent memory. Sydney rockers The Griswolds leaked the latest tune from the album this morning for Neon Gold Records and it’s another solid indicator that Be Impressive may just be the best Australian – nay, world – release this year.
If You Wanna Stay is so much fun. I saw this one live in Sydney when they supported St Lucia and it killed. People were tapping and spazzing inside their own heads, unaware of anyone around, and that’s exactly what The Griswolds do to you with their live shows and their music in general. This music is the type that make you think, “You know what? Fuck it if people are watching, fuck whatever mood I’m in and fuck what’s going on outside of the radius of my body – I’m going to dance and thrash so hard that people are going to shit themselves at how awesome I am”. That’s right…If You Wanna Stay is “shit yourself” good.
For the millionth time, Be Impressive is out this Friday, August 22nd, you can pre-order here on iTunes.
