New Grenada

We'll go Detroit local for today's post, and check out New Grenada's punky rock riffs and rips, boops and bips, toy instruments and just about anything else they dig out of the closet. Like a lot of awesome indie rock outfits, John Nelson, Nicole Allie and Dave Melkonian seem to make a lot more sound than you'd expect from so few people. With three LPs and a handful of 7" and other recordings to their credit, New Grenada seem to be about to hit the sweet spot (even if their photo suggests they're survivng solely on the kindliness of others). Check out their latest tracks — "Emergency Brigade" and "Meat is Murdermobile," from the 2006 release Modern Problems — for a sense of their sonic range.
