Geschmacksfragen: Grandmas House

Female Post-Punk aus Bristol, der Stadt, aus der die Idles kommen, machen Grandmas House um Sängerin und Gitarristin Yasmin Berndt, Schlagzeugerin und Sängerin Poppy Dodgson, Bassistin und Sängerin Zoe Zinsmeister und Gitarristin Polly Jesset. Die bringen diese Woche, am 21. August, ihr Debüt-Album „Baby You’re A Winner“ raus. Wir haben ihnen, passend zum Release, unsere Geschmacksfragen gestellt, die von Frontfrau Yasmin beantwortet wurden. Live sind sie dann natürlich auch unterwegs und auf Tour. Unter anderem am 19. Oktober im Substanz in München.

Your current favourite Song?

Cmat – When a Good Man Cries. I absolutely love the whole album, but this is my favourite. Her voice and emotion she can bring across with it is incredible + she just knows how to write a good pop song.

Your current favourite record?

Fontaines DC – Romance. Great album by a great band – I’ve found myself going back to it frequently since it’s been released. It inspired me a lot whilst writing the album too – Grian’s songwriting is amazing.

Your favourite place?

I recently went to Blackpool for a few days and I absolutely loved it – it was like a different world. It felt like I went back in time to the 90s – cheap food and drinks, a Michael Jackson impersonator and theme park rides without safety belts

Your favourite drink?

We went to play in Austin, Texas this year and drank our weight in Margaritas so I think that might have to take the top spot. Or Lemon Fanta.

Your favourite food?

A meal that’s sort of become a comfort meal is creamy salmon pasta. I love it. We don’t get that sort of food on tour usually, so my girlfriend has started making this dish as a welcome home dinner when I come back from tour, which is lovely.

What you’d like to read about yourself but hasn’t been written about you yet?

We’d love for people to listen to our music and compare us to genuine references/bands that fit the sound, rather than just comparing us to other all female bands because we are all women, when a lot of those bands don’t actually sound anything like us. (Spoiler, this happens to all women in bands) It can really start to feel like we’re all being looked at through a sexist lense when people group all women that make heavier music into one genre.

Thank you for the Answers!
