Be Impressive by Griswolds
Be Impressive is an album by Griswolds, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Beware The Dog”, on 8 lists and voted number one once.
Be Impressive came out on Wind-up Records in August 2014, from the Griswolds, an indie rock band out of Sydney who named themselves after the family in the Vacation films. They signed with Wind-up in May 2013 and went into the studio with producer Tony Hoffer soon after.
The influences they owned up to, from Vampire Weekend and MGMT to Of Montreal, Devendra Banhart, the Beach Boys and even Kanye West, tell you roughly where this lands: bright, bouncy indie pop that wants you on your feet. "Beware the Dog" was the one that got the countdowns moving. The band has been inactive since 2020, when singer Chris Whitehall admitted to sexual misconduct involving underage fans.
