Our Take

Released in 1995, Black Grape's debut album "It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah" is a wild and wacky journey through the madcap minds of Shaun Ryder and Bez. The album is a chaotic blend of funky beats, psychedelic riffs, and cheeky lyrics that will leave you feeling like you've just stumbled out of a wild house party at 4 am.

From the opening track "Reverend Black Grape," with its infectious grooves and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, to the rebellious anthem "In The Name Of The Father," this album is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of musical madness. Ryder's distinct Mancunian drawl weaves effortlessly through each track, delivering his unique brand of social commentary with a healthy dose of wit and humour.

Tracks like "Tramazi Parti" and "Shake Well Before Opening" showcase Black Grape's ability to seamlessly blend genres, incorporating elements of hip-hop, rock, and dance music into their signature sound. The result is a gloriously messy masterpiece that defies categorization and begs to be played at maximum volume.

"It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah" is a party album for the ages, perfect for those nights when you want to let loose and have a good time. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let Black Grape take you on a wild ride through their twisted musical universe. You won't regret it.

BLACK GRAPE: The Manchester Mavericks rewriting the rulebook on Madchester mayhem When it comes to British bands from the 90s, there are few as legendary and enigmatic as BLACK GRAPE. Formed by former Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder and Ruthless Rap Assassins' Kermit Leveridge, this dynamic duo has been pushing boundaries and kicking up a storm since their inception in 1993. BLACK GRAPE burst onto the scene with their debut album "It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah" in 1995, delivering a unique blend of alternative rock, funk, and hip-hop that captured the raw energy and rebellious spirit of their hometown, Manchester. Tracks like "Reverend Black Grape" and "Kelly's Heroes" became instant classics, showcasing Ryder's signature witty lyrics and Leveridge's infectious flow. Known for their larger-than-life personalities and raucous live shows, BLACK GRAPE quickly became darlings of the UK music scene, earning a reputation for their devil-may-care attitude and unapologetic approach to music-making. Their follow-up albums, including "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid" and "Pop Voodoo", solidified their status as one of the most influential bands of the era. With Ryder's unmistakable swagger and Leveridge's razor-sharp wit, BLACK GRAPE continue to defy expectations and challenge conventions, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making great music. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their sound, BLACK GRAPE is a band that demands to be experienced live and in person. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to party like it's 1995 all over again with these Madchester mavericks.
