"what HanDgrenades have done with 'Vampires and Freaks' is remind us that indie rock doesn't have to be totally brooding to be taken seriously. In fact, it can be devilishly fun."
WE'RE HANDGRENADES.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
With 2011’s debut EP Three Cheers For the Wonder Years, HANDGRENADES established their trademark Beatlesesque melodies and three-part vocal harmonies, served with some garage rock edge and a bit of Motown flavor thrown in for good measure.
2014’s Zach Shipps-produced 52 EP embraced guitar-driven arrangements while displaying some more some ethereal, experimental tones. Their sophomore LP, TUNNELS, was released in 2016 and solidified HANDGRENADES as one of the mitten state’s most energetic group of ruffians.
