Best Before, 2009

The sprightly UK trio deliver their second album of highly chaotic punk-pop. Dual male/female vocals battle with each other while the guitars buzz erratically around their heads: fifteen noisy songs somehow emerge intact. But don’t doubt the intelligent construction behind the commotion – it’s the reason Grace has lasting power far beyond its sugar-rush immediacy.
