HiFi Handgrenades Go Global

July 9, 2008 by Dr. Detroit in Detroit Concerts with 0 Comments

One of MCR’s favorite local artist in recent years has got to be former The Fags front man John Speck’s HiFi Handgrenades. Punk rock with blazing chords and a steady stream of well-crafted vocals, how can one go wrong? Speck tells MCR that the HiFi Handgrenades have 10 new songs demoed for their next record, which is penciled in for springtime ’09 release. As for HiFi Handgrenades’ outstanding debut full length Carry On, it is currently is available via New Romance For Kids Records in Canada, Rough Trade/FAEC in Japan (which includes an exclusive 5-song EP), and now this coming August on Deck Cheese Records in the UK. The HiFi Handgrenades are still trying to find a good fit for a US label, but they did offer up the album as a free download back in April.
