CD REVIEW: S/T (Ep) by GRAND THEFT CULTURE

S/T (Ep)  by Grand Theft Culture
(Independent Release)

The debut outing from Los Angeles based via Stockholm, Sweden, rockers Grand Theft Culture, is a sign of bigger and better things to come! Michel Santunione on vocals and guitar, Johannes Sandberg on bass and Markus Hjalsten on drums. The band's self titled four song Ep is like the perfect party rock album. The songs completely rock and  they're balanced by great melodies and some insanely catchy guitar hooks and sing-along choruses. As the band exhibits right from the start with the lead off single, "Down The Line", a great sing along rock anthem that will get your rock and roll juices flowing! Next up, the boys funk things up with the bump and grind groove of, "Pushed Around" then they put the hammer down with the balls out rocker, "Cut To Pieces", a song born to be played at "10"! Closing out things out is the psychedelic rocker, "Touch The Sky". The energy, the talent and chemistry between Santunione, Sandberg and Hjalsten will without a doubt connect with a live audience which will help drive this group to the top. Grand Theft Culture manages to combine a driving rock beat with a lyrically driven melody that together produce some truly entertaining and compelling music. I for one am definitely looking forward to the band's full length debut!  If you are one of those people that likes to be the first to discover a great rock and roll band, you need to check out Grand Central Culture. - Highly Recommended
