“Well I’m getting tired of saying I told you so – Inhaler are filling stadiums (told you so), Florence Road are touring America (told you so), and thanks mom still sound like a band that makes me want to be in a band (I’ve been telling you so for two years) – this track is another brick in the star studded wall that will inevitably result in the overnight success that thanks mom are veering towards…” – Dermot Lambert – CEO Garageland/Blink, RTE 2XM
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing thanks mom perform multiple times now and every time I’m just left thinking this is one of the most exciting bands in the whole darn world right now, raw, loud, poingnant, fun, talented. Totally transcendent experience, totally engaging. There’s no doubt they are well on their way to stardom.” – Rohan Healy, Beardfire Music
Get ready to hit play, because ‘Graces Passport‘ will officially drop on all platforms July 9th.
“When writing Graces Passport we found ourselves trying to capture the warm yet confusing emotions that arise when you’re simply trying to be yourself, only to become an exaggerated and awkward version of who you are.”
“The chaotic, talkative verses reflect the moments when your mind races with a whirlwind of thoughts often fixating on just one person.
Grace’s Passport is proudly the happiest ‘thanks mom’ song we’ve ever written. Instead of dwelling on self-doubt, we chose to drive headfirst into the experience of loving someone else.” – thanks mom
