Obviously, being the crazy cat lady I am, I am going to get intrigued by a band name that has the word “cat” in it even it’s as dark and ominous as Griefcat. Although I picked up on a dark and ominous vibe from the band name alone, “Carbon Footprint” is actually a super fun bop that is definitely worthy of a listen or seventeen today.
Griefcat is a Washington DC-based duo that I would kill to just hang out with. There’s energy and snark scattered throughout this song but, what really caught me was the DIY-punk styled sound but with the slightest hint of something a bit more bubblegum pop. Think Sex Pistols meets old-school Avril (before she went all religious) but with an attitude like Brody Dalle from The Distillers and some tendencies that lean a bit more into something like The Interrupters. Okay, none of those bands or names should be in the sentence yet those are just a few of the influences I feel like I heard as I listened to “Carbon Footprint” from Griefcat on repeat. Take a listen for yourself and tell me what you hear!
