Details:
Armed with naught bar a big muff pedal, two lovely beards and a knack for writing about themselves in third person, the Granite Lakes have spent their short existence meticulously placing chinks in the corporate rock armour. Affectionately referred to by their adoring cult as âthe Granniesâ, the lads have fashioned a grimy, intense musical shtick in the spirit of The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Pixies and early-electric-era Dylan. I say âin the spiritâ because they couldnât actually sound less like any of the aforementioned groups, but feel a certain kinship with their âplay from the gut and let the feedback ringâ attitude.

Now, a mere six months post-inauguration, the Granniesâ have materialised in digital form. Their debut EP, entitled No Cowardâs Soul, is a snappy vignette of the band, recorded inside an abandoned cubby house (tenderly referred to as the âchubbyâ) in Brisbaneâs lovely hinterland.

The Granite Lakes manage to be visually appealing and slightly arousing â whilst at the same time leaving the subtle taste of bile in the back of your throat.
