Sammy G aka 'Pain Relief'
First plugged his guitar into the world stage as part of Australian band The Androids, who left a global footprint (and a few smirks) with the infamous hit “I’d Rather Do It With Madonna.” With crunchy riffs and unapologetic cheek, the song made The Androids cult heroes of the smart-ass pop-rock anthem.
Fast-forward to today and Sam is back with “Take Me Back To 1990,” a solo single that slams together nostalgia, wit, and rock swagger. In the chorus he’s name-checking Metallica, while the verses nod to Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose — the icons who soundtracked his teenage bedroom and first garage-band gigs.
It’s not just a song, it’s a time machine: a raucous trip back to acid-wash jeans, mixtapes, and a world where rock stars were gods and sarcasm was a survival tool. Equal parts guitarist, storyteller, and professional smart-ass, Sam Grayson hasn’t mellowed — he’s just swapped the early-2000s neon for a full-throttle ride through the ’90s.
