Grand Banks is based around singer/songwriter Adam Young, the former Daisygrinders/Big Heavy Stuff guitarist. Grand Banks represents a 10-year backlog of songs.
Grand Banks played its first show at the end of September 2007 as 'The Comboyne Harvesters'. This was a cheap and asinine play on words that name checks a small dairy farming community in the rich green hills of the mid-north coast of NSW. Comboyne has places with names like The Udder Cow Café. Stop in some time.
All short-lived things must pass, however, and the Harvesters have now transmogrified into Grand Banks, which is, incidentally, the name of a fishing ground off the coast of Newfoundland on Canada’s eastern seaboard. Newfoundland is also known as ‘The Rock’, which may or may not be relevant to this story.
Grand Banks invokes the sound of open roads and power lines on urban fringes. The songs are about loves lost or never found, about ghosts and strangers. Quite a few of them clock in at around three minutes and 20 seconds, which is pretty much perfect pop song length. This, we should add, was pure coincidence.
Reluctant though we are to namedrop influences, here goes: If you like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Son Volt, Steve Earle, The Re-mains, The Jayhawks, Drive By Truckers, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Jason Walker, Den Hanrahan, The Band and Emmylou Harris, then you may find some comfort here.
We hope you like what you hear and would love for you to drop in and see us sometime if we ever make it to your neighbourhood.
