Fist City – It’s 1983, Grow Up !

Welcome to the seventh post in a weekly series on new Canadian music ! This week it is garage surf punk rock with a review of Fist City’s long play ‘It’s 1983, Grow Up !’.

Fist City’s fresh foursome resides at the other side of the rockies in a place called Lethbridge, in southern Alberta. The singing Griffith twins are the centre piece of Fist City, Brittany playing bass and transgendering Kier doing the guitar and leading the Fist. Ryan Grieve hitting the drums and tambourine and Evan Van Reekums sometimes Takeshi Terauchish but mostly punky new wavy guitar licks complete the vital Fist City sound.

‘It’s 1983, Grow Up !’ Fist City’s full length is released on Black Tent Press. The album is shooting hard knock cheap but good tasting garage rock whiskey and sipping a surfy Hawaiian Harvey Wallbanger. Shake it, bake it, and you get a fun set of tunes. To understand what I am talking about check our their song Endless Bummer.

If you like evil shit then you have to watch this two year old Fist City viciously animated vid with a six-eyed green monster, fontains of barf, a naked bear, and – well baby, you got your boa ?
