Grasscourt - Come Alive

1.    Who? 

Grasscourt are an indie-pop duo from Stroud, England. Come Alive (June'18) is their second release from the double  A-side Come Alive/Stones Upon My Chest (June'18).

2. What kind of tune is it? 

Come Alive lays down a cute, whimsical, acoustic melody reminiscent of the Violent Femmes straight out of the gate. And that's your whack. It's enough to go on with.

3. Who do Grasscourt sound like?

 Violent Femmes, You Won't, and Django Django.

4. What is the word from the press? 

“Ramshackle charm” – Clash. 

“Wonky pop” – Clash. 

“Deft acoustic stylings” – Clash. 

5. Which bands have influenced Grasscourt? 

Grasscourts influences are too numerous and varied to share with me. That old dodge. They did say Violent Femmes and The Pixies influenced Come Alive. 

6. Why should I give Come Alive a listen? 

Because you're not in the mood for bombastic choruses, fist-pumping anthems, or 'bound to be a festival favorite' songs. 

7. Is the other song any good? 

Stone Upon My Chest has the 60's, Django Django, hippie vibes. 

8. Anything else? 

Nah.
