Ballsier

2015 full length album from Bay Area cross-dressing, geriatric superstars, The Grannies. The new set picks up where 2011's FOR THOSE ABOUT TO FORGET TO ROCK left off with an arthritic and defiant middle finger raised high above a squalid rawk'n'roll soundtrack. Lead singer Bjorn Toulouse wails hard won lessons about dodgy friends, gentrification and love to the chaos while producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, the Gits, Valiant Thor) aptly synthesizes the band's well-fermented bile and grungy, virulent twin-guitar attack on tunes like 'Soviet', 'Wade in Bloody Water' and 'Modern Medicine'. The CD edition of the album features remixes of 'The Corner of F*ck and You' by Ben Addison (of UK acid jazz legends Corduroy) and 'Glittersh*tter' by German producer, DJ and sound designer Matt Flores.
