New Music: Free Refills – Grounded

Don’t let the coffee-themed band name and song title fool you, grounded by Free Refills is a serious musical and indie-dancefloor workout of a tune. Those with fond memories of Le Tigre, CSS, and New Young Pony Club will love this.

The song has an electroclash/indie energy that’s raucous and infectious. The lyrics are fierce, the riffs sharp, the chorus cathartic. The band label their sound ‘dancepunk’ and for sure it’s great to dance to – but it’s the anarchy and sheer punk energy of the song that will blow the unwary away.

Says the band about the song, “grounded is a dance punk nostalgia song about public rejection and picking up the pieces of embarrassment and turning them into empowerment.”
