Great Sale Day’s ‘Wild and Chunky’ is destined to draw comparisons to Weezer, although Andrew Fisher – also of grunge-punks Basement – arguably doesn’t have a problem with this. “It was pretty much two of us listening to Weezer and one of us said “I’d love to do a band like this”, and the other said “OK”,” Fisher explained to us when premièring ‘Best Friends’ earlier this month.
‘Wild and Chunky’ is as much a homage to Weezer and their ilk as it is a record in its own right. For Great Sale Day, the formation of the band and creation of the record is expectation free. This is the result of a band doing what they want to do without constraints of public perception.
“We all wanted to be in a band that wasn’t heavy and that was just about having fun and not being serious,” Fisher explains. “Obviously our other bands are fun, but we’d like to think there is a bit of integrity associated with them. This is still a record we’re proud of but Great Sale Day isn’t about that. We just do whatever. It’s fun.”
Joined by Ed McRae of Your Demise, Daniel Frye of Unholy Majesty and Ben Saker of Breaking Point, Great Sale Day are gearing up to release ‘Wild and Chunky’ on the 10th November 2014 via Close To Home Records.
