If what you are looking for is punchy and rebellious Britpop tinted with classic punk vibes, then you are in luck! Emerging from the British capital, The Graft is the kind of sapient and consumed band that can boast a wealth of experience and life baggage behind them. In fact, their latest effort, a stunning album titled ‘Chirpse’, explores the ins and outs of finding love in London. An extremely relatable theme, as many will be eager to agree. An incredibly busy and chaotic city, it is surely not the best place to form long-lasting connections.
Defined by The Graft as “capturing one man’s journey through the cyclical minefield of searching for love in London”, ‘Chirpse’ moves thick and fast through a wide array of rock references, particularly delving into classic guitar tones and fierce fast-paced grooves. What’s more, the ten tracks forming the album contain a strong melodic element, putting the focus not only on the group’s instrumental abilities but also on their enlightened songwriting, allowing them to pen material that’s melodic and friendly.
Active since 2018, The Graft seems committed to their sound, functioning as a constant star in a music landscape that’s ever-evolving, always running behind the latest trends. The British band makes instead a conscious choice and firmly plants their feet in charming tradition, a formula that seems to be working rather well for them.
