Lead vocalist Matt "Mojo" Morginsky picks up the bass, and guitarist Ethan Luck fills in on drums and backing vocals as well.

Co-produced by the great Aaron Sprinkle, G.I.gantic has a stripped-down, indie sound to it. It's described in the press materials as punk rock, but it's really classic new wave punk rock reminiscent of Elvis Costello & the Attractions, The Clash, Squeeze, and Joe Jackson. It's also pretty similar to Hi-Fi Revival, the one of the most recent Supertones discs, only without the horns.

While the album is stylistically similar to Hi-Fi Revival, it's also a little more varied sounding. By removing the horns and relying more heavily on the guitar and rhythm section, Grand Incredible sounds that much more like the classic bands that inspired them in the first place. The majority of the music is irresistibly catchy classic rock from the late '70s and early '80s, slowing only for a handful of tracks. The romantic 6/8-time rock ballad "Right Time" is a prayer to the Lord for patience in waiting for a soul mate. "Corner of the Sky," a gentle and lonely expression of homesickness, sounds more like Lost Dogs than The Supertones , and "Forgiveness Again" bears resemblance to the folksy California rock of The Eagles or Jackson Browne.

Los Angeles Lakers Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers Lakers

We're comin' to your town and we're gonna shut you down
Bow to the team with the NBA crown oh yeah
If you thinkin' that you're getting t the title keep wishin' catch
Up on your reading or plan to go fishin'
Back to back to back Kobe Phil and Shaq

The Lakers reign supreme you can't stop the dynasty!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Angeles by Grand Incredible are a tribute to the legendary basketball team, the Lakers. The song boasts about their dominance in the basketball world and their winning streaks with Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Phil Jackson during their back-to-back-to-back championship years. The lyrics are a call to action for other teams to bow down to the greatness of the Lakers and acknowledge them as the team with the NBA crown. The song uses the metaphor of fishing to suggest that if opponents are not reading the game and their moves or strategies correctly, they will be out of luck, and their efforts will seem like fruitless fishing in a dry lake.

The lyrics of Los Angeles is both a celebration of the Lakers' greatness and a warning to other teams not to take them lightly. The chorus "Los Angeles Lakers, Lakers" repetition paints a picture of a powerful and confident team that is unstoppable. Grand Incredible's lyrics captured the essence of the lively and energetic basketball culture in Los Angeles, where basketball is not just a sport but a way of life. The song is also an ode to the basketball legends in the Lakers' team, who have achieved the impossible.
