Danielson - Grow Up / Wheel In The Sky

"Grow Up", the  rst single from the forthcoming and much-anticipated Danielson full-length, Best of Gloucester County, required special mastering to allow for the sheer volume of attitude packed into it. Did someone say punk rock was reactionary? Please...don't forget the lace-doilies for your tea-party. Heavy-metal equals funnelled-rage? You might as well be gathering cuttings from the petunia-beds along the front walk-way. How about grunge? Scrunk? Deathgrind? Goodness! Is it already time for the afternoon nap? Vinyl 7" is of course the perfect format for such unadulterated 'tude; it's as if the song leapt from the full-length vinyl and embraced its own Napoleon complex. Perhaps the only 'appropriate' thing about this release is that the B-side is Danielson's reimagining of the Journey classic, "Wheel In The Sky". All strut and swagger and burnin' 2-step, it's a wonder that the 7" doesn't melt to the turntable. Daniel Smith- vocal, acoustic guitar Elin K.
