CITIZENRY Crash Lands with Debut Single, Took To Take
CITIZENRY has been unleashed upon this earth today with the blistering new single and music video for Took To Take.
The solo project of Mike Wallace, known as the enigmatic drummer for the likes of Preoccupations, Women, Bloodslide and more, CITIZENRY is here to push your senses and get your juices flowing.
Speaking of the single, Wallace said –
"Took To Take is about physically and mentally breaking down, overwhelmed with the grind and just wanting to quit your job and smoke weed with your friends while the stinky city sinks."
The single is mixed and mastered by Constantine Tzenos of Odonis Odonis. The beautiful swirling psychedelic video comes from Cam Saville.
Took To Take features Desiree Das Gupta (Idious Carrie) as guest vocalist.
Watch this space, more music and CITIZENRY announcements will be hitting the fan very soon.
A Heavy Dose of Your Grandad
It's release day here at Safe Sounds with a brand spanking new four-track EP from Your Grandad!
500mg [SS127] is premiering now exclusively on bandcamp. It's the Toronto post-punk trio's most spontaneous record to date.
For this EP, Your Grandad have embraced their collaborative instincts, taking a fluid approach to the writing and recording process –
"On July 6th 2024 in sunny Muskoka we got it cookin’ with a Line 6 Spider, Peavy practice amp, a cute little Pearl Midtown drum kit and a 4-track cassette recorder. The result was 500mg."
In order of conception: 'Letting Go', 'Alleviate', 'Gummy Worm Snake' and 'E, Bud!' are a glimpse into the creative capabilities of Your Grandad. If 500mg is the product of one day, imagine what the band could accomplish in a week? A month? In a high fidelity recording studio? With government funding?
Until then, enjoy the low-fi-fun-loving-rock’n’roll essence of 500mg, captured by Cam, Max and Will of Your Grandad.
You can grab a limited edition cassette copy of the EP at their Exclaim! Class Of show on Friday... it's gonna be a belter!!
