Our Best of Philly Poll Runner-ups, Grandchildren, is taking some time off this summer while Aleks Martry makes his annual summer trip to Central America to help the less fortunate (how about that folks – talented and a good guy) and Roman Salcic spends some quality family time in Croatia. But the fall is just around the corner so I’m sure that you’ll see plenty of them everywhere (if not in-person, then inside a plethora of music magazines and on your favorite blog) when their debut LP Everlasting drops Sept. 28 on Green Owl Records. They’re planning a fall tour in support and have already booked shows with Explosions in the Sky and Dum Dum Girls. Grandchildren just premiered their debut single “Saturn Returns” on The Fader, but if you’ve been keeping up and happen to have their Cold Warrior EP (or unreleased Cold Warrior LP which became Everlasting), then you are probably familiar with it already, except it’s been re-mastered. You can download the track for FREE here thats is if you don’t mind surrendering your e-mail. But trust me, you want to stay updated about what is going on in the world of Grandchildren. Like I’ve said before – if the rock gods are just, Grandchildren are going to be HUGE! For the newly initiated, enjoy! You can thank us later. – Q.D. Tran
