“We truly had no idea what we were doing and were just writing songs because it felt good and because we wanted to with no ulterior motive in mind. “I think it’s a really great example of who we are at our core as musicians and artists,” Nigro adds. Mostly, we were focused on keeping the record authentic to us and where we were when we first started out the project so we have a solid base to grow from.” Once we realized the little blend we were creating, we focused on really accentuating that on the record.

“All of the songs we were writing had this wonderful ’90s grunge nostalgic element to them, while also incorporating some newer sounds to keep it fresh. “We definitely had an idea of the general vibe, but we certainly honed in on what this project was actually about as we were recording, again with guidance from Suarez, Hannah and Pete,” Dani Nigro adds. It’s a very, very special and personal record.” It became clear that even though we were sitting on nearly 30 demos, we wanted this record to be super raw and personal, so we ended up using some of those first songs we ever wrote together. We realized what it was as we began laying down tracks with Alex. We just started writing, and with the guidance of our incredible manager Hannah Klein, our mentor Pete Wentz, and Alex Suarez who produced this record, we sort of stumbled into the vision of it. “This record is so close to our hearts, because all four of these tracks (excluding “Baby Blackout”) were among the first written for this project,” Keaton Whittaker tells Atwood Magazine. “When Dani and I started Daisy Grenade ( FKA Make Your Son Famous), we had essentially no idea what we were doing. Working with mentor Pete Wentz (“THE emo prince of our generation,” they say), Daisy Grenade is a refreshing bright spark on the alternative landscape: A young, fast-rising band with a searing and irresistible sound.
