DOWNLOAD: Grown Ups - Pears
.jpg)
Topshelf is a little label from Boston with a big collection of superb releases. To celebrate its fifth anniversary, I'm going to be posting a track from their roster each day this week, and you can catch even more where that came from here. Kicking it off is Chicago's Grown Ups, a very solid live act and leaders of the movement to restore emo's good standing. "Pears" is a great example of the group's technical prowess and raw, pop punkish vocals, blending the best of two genres for a more high-quality take than your standard Cap'n Jazz throwback. The influences listed on the band's Myspace seem to sum it up best: Lifetime, The Beatles, weed, girls. And there you have it. You can find LP More Songs here.
