Grooms merge dissonant guitar riffs, alternative percussion, Moog attacks and haunting vocal melodies into a whirlwind sound that challenges the listener at every turn. Although Sonic Youth comparisons can certainly be made, Grooms also channels Pavement, Chavez and countless other bands that pioneered the sonically-intense, broken-pop sound of 90’s indie rock—but with an attitude and approach uniquely its own. – Check Grooms out live on June 25 at Cameo or on June 27 at Silent Barn.
