about
Detroit’s HiFi Handgrenades are a 4-piece melodic punk band, comprised of some of the scene’s best and brightest. The band was formed in late December ‘06, following the demise of power-pop trio The Fags, who released an EP and critically acclaimed full-length ‘Light ‘Em Up’ on Texas indie Idol records. Singer/guitarist/songwriter John Speck (Hoarse, Skeemin’NoGoods, The Paybacks, The Fags...) wanted to form a new band that recalled his years coming up in the city’s storied punk scene. An honest, no-frills band echoing the melodic sound of the Descendents and Dagnasty, combined with the attitude of mid-western greats such as ‘Stink’ -era Replacements and Naked Raygun. Joining him are the formidable rhythm section formerly of the Suicide Machines: drummer Ryan Vandeberghe and bassist Rich Tschirhart, along with Grande Nationals guitarist/singer Tony Vegas.
