Philadelphia Grand Jury have gotten the party started at hundreds of chaotic and beautiful shows across 4 continents, in more cities than anyone can count - from Patti Smith’s basement to the back of a flat-bed truck, under the stars of the South African desert, on rooftops and all the way to the main stage of Splendour in the Grass. First introduced to the world via a string of impossibly catchy singles that quickly became radio staples, the Philly Jays released their much-loved debut album “Hope Is For Hopers” and won a bunch of awards that somehow got lost in their move to the other side of the world. In 2015 they recorded their second LP Summer Of Doom in Berkfinger’s adopted home of Berlin, which lead to him putting his life in a shipping container and relocating back to their hometown of Sydney to plot the proper return of Philadelphia Grand Jury. Original drummer Dan W Sweat is back in between stints with Art Vs Science, Thelma Plum and Maddy Jane. Berkfinger has been engineering and producing for acts including The Internet, Lime Cordiale and Boy and Bear. MC Bad Genius just ... is. A bunch of fresh singles and a new album are due for release over the next 12 months, all of which they’ve been recording at their custom-built Golden Retriever Studio in Marrickville, Sydney. The latest single "Nervous Breakdown" sees them venture further into the freak-pop of Summer of Doom but lays on the hooks thick and heavy and comes in somewhere around the 2 minute mark.
