Music Video, You Say? The Grayces' "Just Another Thing"

    The Grayces are a Nashville 3-piece that are fighting for the life and love of Rock 'n' Roll. This is their latest video for the song "Just Another Thing." 
    The song itself is a fun and bouncy post-punk number with squeaky vocals from Iz Stone - so squeaky and bouncy you just want to poke, squeeze and tickle her, and then feed her bon-bons. Stone's voice kind of reminds me of Nikko from Velvet Underground, but - to be honest - better.
    On top of being the vocal vixen of the trio, Stone also holds down a sleazy and slinky guitar riff that keeps the song punk-rocking. Patrick Ward's bass line is punchy and to the point, and it has that "My Sharona" bounce to it. Pair Ward's driving bass with Gaelen Mitchells's fist-pumping drums and you have one solid song. 
    Midway through the tune, Stone pulls out a simple but effective guitar hook that's drizzled with what sounds like a backwards tape effect (maybe just a wah-pedal though?) while a fun little bridge sings "I'm on the tele/ Peeping through the P-hole." The end of the song finishes up with a great sing-a-long chant of "It's just a O-O-O/ Another thing/ It's just a O-O-O-O-O,o-O"
    The song clocks in at a few seconds shy of three minutes, so you don't need to concentrate on anything - just straight-forward, get-your-rocks-off rock 'n' roll. That being said, click on the video below and enjoy the music video!
