THE AQUARIUM WEEKLY
GRANIAN, On My Own Two Feet

Voted best unsigned band by SPIN Magazine way back in 1997, Granian the band is now Granian the man as singer/songwriter/guitarist/namesake and Holmdel native Garen Gueyikian releases his second solo disc with the able assistance of bassist Pemberton Roach, drummer Nir Z. and guitarist Kyle Kelso.

As tuneful as Tonic, intense as Ryan Cabrera, powerful as Switchfoot, commercial as Maroon 5 or Matchbox 20, irresistible as an old Peter Gabriel track and flat out sing-along wonderful as anything Crowded House ever recorded, On My Own Two Feet boasts soaring vocals, sincerely felt lyrics, great pacing, super fuzzed riffs, naturally crunchy demi-metal hooks, and several very potential radio hits including "Contagious" "Ain't That Shame" and, especially "Mark My Words."
