Grand Atlantic’s last album was an exploration of classic rock sounds and structures with a contemporary pop inflection. I’ve seen this Brisbane four piece several times and they never fail to impress during a live show.

Their latest song is a thick slice of power pop/rock and sees them inject their sound with a surprising but welcome lead synthesiser. Backed by some solid power chords and chorus full of classic staccato ‘ooo-ing’, Tripwires will surely make those indie kids get their hands out of their skinny-legged pockets their fists pumping.

Their new album is out in March and the new ideas they’ve injected into their palette here are cause for excitement in my books. Keep an ear out for these guys in a few months.
