We’ve teamed up with New York’s THE GRAPE AND THE GRAIN to provide an exclusive pre-release stream of their acoustic At Home EP. Take a listen and if you like what you hear, it will be out available for purchase tomorrow via their Bandcamp page! Featuring songs off their self-titled album released last year, the band discovered their blues-infused hard rock sound mellowed perfectly to rich, smooth and deep acoustic renditions. Let us know what you think!
Multiple tracks were streamed online earlier this spring in exclusive premieres, including “If God Is Love” on Altsounds; “Burnt By the Sun” on Under the Gun and “The Hudson” on New Noise Magazine. Compiled into one piece, the EP also features an unheard cover of “The Devil and the DEA”. Recorded in makeshift home studios, the EP reflects the non-stop passion and DIY work-ethic of the band. The project began after recording “If God Is Love” acoustically, explained Daniel Grimsland. “We had so much fun recording that track and experimenting with reinterpreting a song, it inspired us to keep going with it. It was great fun but also challenging for us as songwriters. I enjoyed the process very much, and I hope the band will do more things like this in the future.”
Last month, they released limited edition vinyl copies of their full-length album The Grape And the Grain with hand-printed sleeves. Extremely limited stock of the vinyl is still available through Bandcamp and will not be re-pressed.
The Grape And The Grain will be playing a June 12th official showcase at Brooklyn’s Northside Festival, alongside Newborn, War Games and The Courtesy Tear (and more). Organized by Behind The Curtains Media and Rocker Stalker, the full-day showcase will feature seven bands at Bar Matchless. Full event details and line-up can be found here.
At Home is available for purchase on Bandcamp now!
