Guitarist JG comment: “Doesn’t every band have their “What if’s”? In Grindpad’s case it was “What if we had a Christmas song”. And not your average, standard, heavier cover of a known one, but our very own ACTUAL Christmas song. And, somewhere this year, on a hot sunny summer day, ours was born. It was literally written and recorded in shorts, with sunglasses. So, Mariah Carey, Wham! and Chris Rea, be warned! Because here comes Grindpad’s very own …. X-MAS MOSH!!”Listen to the single “X-MAS MOSH” on all streaming services!
