Developing a sound and presence so permanently ingrained in the consciousness of Australian rock history, Grinspoon have proven time and again in recent years that the passion that drives their music remains as potent as ever.
With 13 ARIA Award nominations to their name; over half a million records sold; countless Platinum accolades and a live reputation that is untouchable, Grinspoon’s impact is one that contemporary Australian rock bands can still find themselves observing as a blueprint of enduring success.
Grinspoon’s influence on the Australian scene has extended beyond the success of their early material; the band contributing to the blueprint of Australian rock music that has celebrated the embrace of different sounds and influences. The band’s later records, namely 2007’s Alibis & Other Lies and 2009’s Six to Midnight; both demonstrated Grinspoon’s ability to perceive the versatility of rock music through their unique lens, establishing a realm where heavy sounds could co-exist with the more soulful driven blues rhythms, as they could glam metal and power pop influences.
