“They refuse to be pigeon holed, flitting from one genre to the next, sometimes mid song, [which] certainly makes for interesting and intelligent listening. From the Gothic love song that is Super Über Hoover Love, to the anthemic rising Host Divine. There’s something about the piano injection with engine noises on the build of the chorus that just screams anthem. It’s a chemical reaction and we are unable to resist waving our arms towards the heavens. Blue Grenade were totting a few major labels when their bass player and drummer left and, as it goes, labels are reluctant to take an indie band on when it’s different than the usual set up of 4 members. Tom and Don are now the driving force of Blue Grenade, their job descriptions – Tom one half, Don the other; the duo’s brave gamble to losing band members. A wager that paid off. The gypsy punk sound mixed with a David Bowie growl on the vocals add to that some dirty electronic sounds and that is (more or less) Blue Grenade”
