Girl Scout Hand Grenade

Since, Exploding on to Michigan's underground music scene in 2003, Girl Scout Hand Grenade have continued to drop jaws and turn heads of any innocent bystanders caught in the middle of their rapid-fire aural assault. Though they defy being pigeonholed, their experimental agro-industrial-metal sound refuses to be ignored by music fans and industry people alike, ?We don't really fit anywhere and we think that?s a good thing,? states Tonya (Vocals) pragmatically.

?I think our biggest influence comes mainly from growth and learning. Whether its reading a book, experiencing a piece of art, attending a seminar or just talking to people, expanding the perception of what's possible and creating something unique is what inspires us,? maintains Andrew (Bass).

Conceptually Girl Scout Hand Grenade is a nuclear fusion of polar opposites, a negative weapon for a positive outcome. The mix of their signature hard edge political and intimate personal lyrics further demonstrates this concept. ?The purpose of Girl Scout Hand Grenade is to get people thinking. Positive or negative I want people to feel something, people need to be inspired,? says Tonya ?We want to wake people from their lobotomized trance, get them off their couches and into the streets. Especially the kids, Arm the children? adds Mike (Guitar)
