Still From “Use Your Delusion” Video

Toronto’s Greys shared the video for their latest single “Use Your Delusion” via Wondering Sound today.  According to the site, the Amanda Fotes directed clip “is admirably minimal; the band plays in a white room. Some scenes happen in slow-motion, others in double-time, and the spartan setting underscores the song’s ungussied punk rock bona fides.” The track is off their upcoming debut full-length If Anything, which arrives via Carpark Records and Buzz Records on June 17, 2014 (June 16, 2014 in Europe).

Though Greys have been around since 2011, the band began making waves earlier this year with the release of their first single from If Anything, cheekily titled “Guy Picciotto“.  The track and accompanying video are another perfect example of the quartet’s brashly caustic, sardonic outlook; Greys make music that soundtracks disillusionment.

After the release of three EPs in as many years (2011’s Ultra Sorta, 2012’s Easy Listening and 2013’s Drift), If Anything sees Greys scraping raw the influences of their punk heros, bands such as Drive Like Jehu, Shellac, and Unwound, combining them with a dirty tapestry of angular guitar textures and irregular rhythms that propel the album’s 11 tracks forward at breakneck speed.  Yes, the band writes noise rock, but it’s also some of the poppiest music that’s ever been allowed to lay claim to such a title.

Greys have earned a reputation for their crushingly intense live show, one that’s as loud as it is satisfying.  The band today also announced a giant run of North American dates to happen this summer (all tour dates below).
