HiFi Handgrenades explode onto the road in the UK

I guess they’re probably sick of reading headlines like that, but it serves them right for calling themselves HiFi Handgrenades, doesn’t it? I doubt they’re all that bothered, though - they’ve been out on tour supporting no less a band than Foo Fighters after Dave Grohl heard them finishing off their forthcoming Carry On album. Talk about lucky breaks, eh?

Still, there’s doubtless a lot of hard work thrown in with HiFi Handgrenades‘ lucky streak - and looking at the lengthy roster of UK dates they’re about to launch into, the hard work ain’t over yet. Check out the melodic punk rock sound of HiFi Handgrenades on the following dates:
