Indie rock band Grand Am with the rebellious and catchy soundscape of “Five days a week and twice on Sunday”. With this exquisite and intoxicating blend of melodies and lyrics they pull us in an instant and remind us that there are things out there that we are sure to want more than anything. The track is perfection and in an instant became one of my favourites and during this time at home, it has become one that I can jam to every afternoon. The track is infectious and there’s something about it that catches you with lush and rebellious hooks that will surely connect with you. The soundscape is a sweet blend of classic and contemporary melodies that make it a one of a kind addition to the rock genre. So come with me and let us remember that there are things still pending that we want more than anything out there. When things get well, let’s go out there and pursue our dreams.
“The story behind the hook u“Five Days A Week And Twice On Sundays” goes back to when I lived in New Orleans. There was an old guy in the neighbourhood who used to come around, and he would show up (uninvited) at a barbeque or house party would stay a little while and tell some stories. I only met him a handful of times, but the thing that stuck with me is that when he was talking about something he really wanted or liked he’d say “five days a week and twice on Sundays.” And he said it a lot. It was such an expressive way of saying yes and showing how badly he wanted something, and it stuck with me. When we wrote the retro rock riff that’s the foundation of this song it brought me back to my time in New Orleans with it’s groove and attitude, and that old saying that’s been stuck in my head all these years felt like a perfect fit.” – Grand Am
As a composer, producer and engineer at The Music Playground in Manhattan, James Panepinto has been the engine behind the soundtracks heard on shows on MTV, A&E and CBS and in films at Sundance, Tribeca and Cannes. But his work on big and small screens represents a small fraction of his creative energy. Panepinto has been even busier outside his career in the music industry, quietly building a massive catalogue of riffs, melodies and beats.
