Grenade

Great news: Grenade has already recorded its new album to be released sometime this year by Slag Records (Cidadão Instigado, Arcade Fire, Four Tet). I had the chance to listen to it and it seemed to me their best effort so far. That means a lot since in my opinion it is the best rock'n'roll band in Brazil. Grenade started out as former Killing Chainsaw Rodrigo Guedes lo-fi project. Then a couple of years ago - already as a band - they released a self-titled album which summarized Guede's main influences: Neil Young, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kinks, etc. The new album pretty much follows the same path. But with even better pop hooks.
