Brooklyn-based Grand Gesture deals in strong, guitar-driven leads, with a healthy dose of psychedelic vibes, and 70’s jam band mixed in. “Straw In My Sock,” one of the band’s latest releases, is a nearly-two-and-a-half minute romp laden with the kind of guitar riffage your daddy used to play, but the tune’s chorus is so catchy we guarantee you’ll be humming along before the song’s end. You can check out Grand Gesture live at the Mercury Lounge 3/17 for their album release party, but in the meantime, sink your teeth into their single streaming below. – Olivia Sisinni
