“My pride’s a riot, it’s not a parade,” Grace sings during this anthem of acceptance that follows the release of ‘Active Trauma,’ ‘Mine Me Mine’ and ‘Your God (God’s D*ck)’, a bold and fearless song that continues to test the new right’s alleged devotion to free speech and double standard of gender constructs. Watch the music video for ‘Wearing Black’ directed by Emily Esperanza below.

A stomping number about recognizing that you can never outrun the past — even if, as Grace half-jokes, you actually run to attempt just that — ‘Active Trauma’ suggests that you may be able to overpower it, to “burn this house to the fucking ground.”

Adventure Club is the product of a month-long, life-changing trip and songwriting retreat in Greece that came by way of a Fellowship grant through the Onassis Foundation that provided Grace with the inspiration to create some of the best punk she’s ever made.

Like classic power-pop propelled by Oi!’s revolutionary oomph, Grace’s new single, ‘Mine Me Mine’, lambastes endless capitalist avarice, or how it is used to manufacture suffering for others.

Written last summer during a songwriting fellowship retreat in Greece, ‘Your God (God’s Dck)’ is a hilarious, heretic, and brilliant excoriation of religious devotion, or of using God’s supposed words and one’s belief in them to fck your fellow citizens. A balancing act between Queen, Elton Motello and L7, it is an instantly addictive tune, a should-be-hit that feels like a brazen test of the new right’s alleged devotion to free speech. (Grace notably plays the Baglamas here, historically associated with Greek protest music, Rebetiko.)
