Good Grief

Hüsker Don't. Indie rock/punk trio from Liverpool. They'd like to come to your town.

Formed in 2012 by Liverpudlian guitarist/vocalist Will Fitzpatrick, bassist/vocalist Paul Abbott and drummer Matiss Dale, Good Grief released a handful of singles before real life took precedence and the band took a back seat in 2015. They never officially broke up, though, regrouping to play the occasional date, sometimes with big names like Wussy and Superchunk. Good Grief fully reactivated in 2018, and eventually got to work on what would become their debut album.

Set for release on 18th March 2022, Shake Your Faith blasts the listener with a guitar rock that will sound quite inviting to fans of groups such as Sugar and Jawbreaker. A little punk rock, a little indie rock, and a whole lot of fun. You’ll rock out to songs influenced by everything from mental health, the New York school of poetry, the films of Akira Kurosawa, Seinfeld, novelist David Grossman and the end of The Empire Strikes Back. Mostly, though, you’ll hear heartfelt songs that revolve around questioning yourself and a general sense of dislocation. Shake Your Faith will get you moving while making you think about the bigger picture of life and everything in it.
