Grinspoon – ‘Chemical Heart’

“We’re delighted to be hitting the road again later this year, I’m so enjoying putting together the set list for these shows,” frontman Phil Jamieson said. “We’ll be throwing in some songs we’ve never played live, believe it or not.”

In addition to their tour, Grinspoon will also be releasing both Easy and New Detention on vinyl for the first time. Those will arrive Friday, 8th September. Pre-orders are available here, with both records also available at the merch desks on the upcoming tour.

“I’m very affectionate towards Easy, I love that record, I think it’s my fave Grinners album,” Jamieson added. “It’s flawed, but I think I like its flaws. I can hear the tumultuous times that we were experiencing during the writing and recording of it too. And New Detention, well, it kind of changed everything for us.”
