As Detroit punk four piece HiFi Handgrenades were putting the finished touches to their debut album down in the Foo Fighter owned 606 Studio in walks none other than Dave Grohl.
Immediately blown away by the band they were whisked across the US, Canada & Japan on tour with the Foo Figthers.
Their debut album ‘Carry On’ is 10 tracks of an honest, no-frills band echoing the melodic sound of the Descendents and Dagnasty, combined with the attitude of mid-western greats such as ‘Stink’ -era Replacements and Naked Raygun.
Formed from ex members of The Paybacks & Suicide Machines the band support Alkaline Trio, Millencolin & appear at Reading & Leeds festivals during August & September 08.
