Citing influences like Booker T and the MG’s as well as Sam & Dave you get a sense of genuine authenticity behind the band. It really comes as no surprise when you find out that they went all out to master their record at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis.
The fact of the matter is that you don’t have a lot of people pushing old school soul and R&B these days and listening to Idiot Grins simply having a good time on Big Man is strangely cleansing. Not only are these guys top notch musicians but they also understand the fundamental power of the genre. Idiot Grins speak to the American dream and seem ready to bring the masses back to the music of a time forgot. Check out their new single, “Poppy Piss” and let us know what you think.
