Philadelphia Grand Jury
The fifth instalment in the third year of limited 7” releases on the Too Pure Singles Club (borne from the ashes of the celebrated London indie label) sees the release of ‘The Good News’ from Philadelphia Grand Jury.
This will be the Australian trio’s first release in the UK, which falls amid a flurry of UK shows continuing into the summer. The chosen single, ‘The Good News’, was one of the most played on Australian independent radio in 2009 and similarly their debut album went to Number 1 in the Independent charts.
The B-side is the infectious ‘Ready To Roll’. Never ones to shy away from mixing an array of musical styles, this 7” combines indie pop with a kicking of garage rock and a dose of soul thrown in for good measure.
