Grushenka

Since the end of the world is apparently near us, some bands are already preparing for the ultimate collapse. Spain’s 4-piece newcomers Grushenka could probably write a whole guide on how to survive; “Mi Estrategia Vital” is a spot-on trisection of noise-pop, melodic memory, and call-for-action. This song is so flashy and nostalgic; we could swear they submerged the track into boiling water. For every distortion, there’s a melodic response, and for every dizzy hook, there’s a teen-spirit saved from demolition.
