The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - The Griswolds

The juxtaposition of The Griswolds’ ‘let’s all join the parade’ carnival music and the lyrics… “She used to suck the fun out of me”, “Now you’re fucking crazy” and “…you better leave that prick alone” is what makes this song so special.

 

 

Beware The Dog (May’14) is a potpourri of led by the choir vocals and some noodley guitar lines and keys. The vocals are the big thing here and they’ll take you to a higher place. Although ironically the song is about losing a friend to drug addiction! Get it in you, you wuse.

  

The Griswolds come sloping out Sydney, Australia. They have been on the foil since 2012. They’ve sucked up the one big player Be Impressive(Aug’14) of which Beware The Dog is the stand out track.

The Griswolds give homage to Faith No More, Nirvana, Kanye, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Of Montreal and The Beach Boy and on and on ad infinitum.

Can’t get enough of that sunshine and bounce indie pop? Then steal a march on the oppo and get some of Down and Out, Mississippi and Heart Of A Lion.

Need another hit? No wuckin forries fellah. Have a ride on the Brissy band Violent Soho and Covered In Chrome (2013) because the tune is one the Grissies mentioned loving and they are right to. It's pissing blood the next morning good.
