Gretchen Lewis - Issue 1

"Gretchen Lewis delivers an intimidating performance on stage! " Quote from a miscellaneous, random dude at a previous gig. That initial feeling quickly becomes awe about a third of the way through their opening song. It doesn't take long to realise that this is a band to keep an eye on as the power of their music hits home. It's not like these guys are reinventing the wheel or anything, it's still good, groovy, rock music but it stands apart from everything else that's out there at the moment. From Del Sinki and Jason's spiralling punchy vocals, to Annette's haunting keyboard melodies, from Alex's saxy hooks to Ricky's brutal, punishing beats, Gretchen Lewis provides a confronting, electric and addictive spectacle in a 40 minute set that just isn't long enough.
