More Grenadiers More Grenadiers

Having been through more hardships and bad luck during their tenure as a band than most acts experience in a lifetime, Adelaide's Grenadiers have pushed through it all and delivered their best effort yet.

Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the band's third album Find Something You Love And Let It Kill You is a dose of good old-fashioned, balls-to-the-wall Aussie rock that will leave you breathless.

Opener Drunk And Broke is a beer-soaked punk number that leads into the foot stomping Suburban Life. Panic Attack and Glasses Up both contain frenzied guitars and pub-rock harmonies, while Live Fast, Diabetes features a guitar solo the great Ian Moss would be proud of. Long Way Down is the album highlight: a catchy, riff-laden tune addressing the mundane realities of life.

Vocalist Jesse Coulter's raspy Aussie twang adds authenticity to songs exploring themes of poverty, drunken nights out, failed dreams and the slog of everyday life. Across ten tracks of crunching riffs and pummelling melodies, Grenadiers lay to rest any talk of the Adelaide music scene's decline while confirming their status as one of the country's best rock outfits.
