"Now It's On" was the song Grandaddy sent out first from Sumday, their third album, in 2003, and it made it to 23 on the UK Singles Chart. It's Jason Lytle's show from end to end: he wrote the words and the music, sang it, produced it and recorded it with Lucky Lew.
The rest of the band gives it legs. Jim Fairchild's electric guitar, Kevin Garcia's bass and Aaron Burtch's drums push Lytle's melody along with a steady, hopeful drive, the sound of indie rock daring to feel good about itself, and Michael Brauer mixed it.
