Grand National is definitely innovative enough to become popular with the alternative/indie music-loving crowd. Their layered and somewhat calming voices slightly allude to the Postal Service, Coldplay, or even an alternative throwback take on the Scissor Sisters. But Grand National still manages to clearly fit into its own genre by incorporating their strong 80s rock influences with up-tempo, electronic beats. Their music is not the place to turn to for heavy, dramatic instrumentals or for booming voices that soar through the speakers. They are the opposite, in fact - their music is relaxing, happy, and suitable for a hip, new downtown lounge for young friends. I would not be surprised if songs like "Going To Switch the Lights On" and "By The Time I Get Home," with their undeniably catchy choruses, were to hit the popular radio waves, and quickly!
