Your Grandad
The Sin Gles Arrive on Shiny Orange on Orange on Orange Cassettes
Your Grandad are at it again, this time with the release of Sin Gles... an EP collection of, you guessed it, Singles. The best of the best of the best of the best.
We've released Sin Gles on strictly limited Safe Sounds cassette with an Orange on Orange on Orange theme. What's your favourite juice... AKA your juice opinion? Well of course, it's Orange Juice - the king of all the juices. Juicy fruits.
The release features a brand new remix of Your Grandad's classic track, 'Fake News', by our very own Bill Cutbill. Bill also came up with the cassette artwork and previously filmed the music video for Your Grandad's self-titled single.
Speaking of the Cockfosters remix, Bill explains -
"Cam and co had always been keen for me to hop on board to remix Your Grandad, and this one all started when I was travelling back to the UK via Dublin when my plane got delayed."
"I had my laptop on me, so decided to crack into the remix there and then in Dublin airport at 6am. I crafted the opening and recorded a sample from inside the airport terminal. The plane ended up being three hours late, which turned out to be the perfect amount because I later put a claim in to them and got refunded over $800 which pretty much paid for my return trip. Sometimes it's good to complain... always remember to complain."
"When I eventually landed in London, I jumped on the tube. The Piccadilly line service I was riding terminated at a station called Cockfosters, which the English voice over the tannoy reminded me of at every stop. In my jet lagged state I thought about the immature sense of humour of Your Grandad, and decided I should sample that as well."
"This remix doesn't really have a genre... it's more a journey through textures - the aim was to take you from the airport to a train journey, before dropping you down a spiral staircase, only to have you land on the other side of the earth entirely. I'll let you be the judge of whether I achieved that or not."
In addition to the Cockfosters remix, the Sin Gles includes the following tracks from their incredible debut album – Your Grandad, Poison, CERB and Aspartame. It's a rollercoaster ride that will try to throw you off at any moment.
So where do you grab one of these orange on orange on orange cassettes? We're not selling em online, cos the internet sucks, so if you want to secure some orange gold, you'll need to head to Toronto's Baby G on Tuesday April 9th ~
Vinyl copies of Your Grandad's debut self-titled album are also available and should be purchased post-haste.

It's Album Release Day for Your Grandad
We’re excited and delighted to bring you Your Grandad’s self-titled debut album today! The nine songs on this record blend humour with sincerity, musical misdirection with good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll.
With a guitar, a bass, drums, vocals, and a cheeky Wurlitzer overdub, Your Grandad carve out a sonic territory far vaster and deeper than anything they’ve done before.
You’ll hear all three members — Cameron Kirk, William O'Neill and Max Sheffel — take turns singing lead vocals, with some tasty harmonies to boot. Expect all sorts of sounds; fun, abrasive, weird and normal.
Some of the tracks are danceable and some are decidedly not! We hope it sticks with you and you keep coming back year after year... as the kids get older you're going to need to make an honest effort to keep this love alive.
Luckily with Your Grandad being available on vinyl, you can grab a copy that will live forever and can be passed from generation to generation.
Here's a quote from the band —
“We’re very proud of this record, and we hope you enjoy it! We’d like to thank some people who helped get this record out there...
Stephen Pitman, who recorded and helped produce the recording. Shelby Wilson who provided vocals on Qualified Certified. Brandon Bak who mixed the album. Asher Gould-Murtagh who mastered it. Mitch Lohmeier who designed the artwork for the LP and all of its singles. Leesa Westwood and Richard Singh who helped design the liner notes.
Finally, Bill Cutbill and Desiree Das Gupta of Safe Sounds for helping us get it out there!”
Your Grandad is available NOW on all streaming platforms and for download via Bandcamp. Physical copies will also be available for sale at the upcoming live shows...
November 10 - Sarnia
November 16 - Hamilton
November 17 - Toronto

The third single from Your Grandad's debut self-titled LP has just arrived accompanied by a blistering music video.
We don't want to spoil it for you — let's just say it includes the swallowing of unusual objects, eye gouging and a healthy dose of tea taken with a splash of milk.
