Grassy Knoll - Who Killed Sharon

  

  Do a Google search for grassy knoll and you'll get a lot of search results pertaining to the "small green space marking the spot where John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963."  Hopefully if today's band fulfil their undoubted potential they'll soon be also prominently featured in those search results.

  Grassy Knoll are a new punk band from Pittsburgh who've just released a cassette titled Hardcore '24 (10 punk songs. Yeah it's called Hardcore '24 even though it came out in '25, who cares?). They're a band that are reminding me of Night Birds (https://night-birds.bandcamp.com/) both for their energetic hardcore infused music and their lyrical content. 

  You can check out the ep here : https://grassyknollpunk.bandcamp.com/album/hardcore-24

  There's a couple of songs on the ep dealing with the JFK assassination but this one touches on another pivotal 60's event, the murder of Sharon Tate and her unborn son by members of the Manson Family cult. It's called Who Killed Sharon? 

There's a hippy murder cult living on death ranch The men don't surf at muscle beach, the girls are in a trance One night we sent a squad car out to see what they were up to What we saw was so disgusting that I fuckin threw up dude Who killed Sharon? Who? Who killed Sharon? Me and the hippy murder cult are living on death ranch Eating lots of acid, it puts us in a trance Society doesn't understand us, we're living on the fringe We're eating out of garbage cans but we're planning something big Who killed Sharon? Who? Who killed Sharon? Life is nice out in the canyon, Roman's shooting overseas Far away from the city's pain and the homeless in the streets Growing in my stomach now, a son or a daughter The sun reflects of the pools cool crystal water Who killed Sharon? Who? Who killed Sharon?
