Grooms received The Deli’s indie rock stamp of approval ages ago, when they were still called "Muggabears". But what we are happy to report today is that this is a band that, throughout the years, has been able to grow musically like few others. Coming from a "Pavement influenced" background, Grooms have developed in a more personal direction through the years – the tracks on the album "Prom" (released today on Kanine )showcase a band that has found a very personal balance between sonic experimentation and songwriting values. The group possesses an edgy sound that combines raw, often dissonant guitar parts, driving drum lines, and melodic but tense vocals for a terrific set of songs. Make sure to check out this album, and don’t miss their show in… Union Square (!?) on July 21.
