Toronto quartet Greys announced new East Coast tour dates today with fellow Canadians The Dirty Nil.  The band is currently touring the West in support of their debut full-length If Anything out now via Carpark/Buzz Records (all tour dates below).  Greys have also shared a cover of Mission of Burma’s “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate” from their recent Daytrotter session.

Stream “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate” Cover 
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.  The band writes loud rock, but it’s also some of the poppiest music that’s ever been allowed to lay claim to such a title.

Praise for Greys:
“Most impressive… [their] combination of explosive distortion and harsh but pretty melodies suggested a band who helped invent the genre, not one exploring it 30 years after its birth.” -LA Times

“With feedback-saturated guitars, catchy melodies, and the sore-throat yowls of frontman Shehzaad Jiwani, Greys sound like lost transmissions from the underground punk scene” -Rolling Stone

“It’s a masculine sound, a mean sound; it’s propulsive, pummeling, and often pretty exhilarating.” -Stereogum
