Indie Rock from groan room

Hailing from Salford, UK, groan room are an alternative rock four-piece who take influence from the transatlantic 90s grunge and brit-pop scenes with touches of slacker rock thrown in. Each member is a seasoned musician in their own right, all cutting their teeth on the North West’s band scene before coming together to form their latest project.

Their unique sound is supplemented by intelligent lyricism that is often self-deprecating in nature with a tongue-in-cheek apathy towards life and the hurdles we all face on our own journeys. The unsettling angst brought about during your mid to late twenties forms the context and driving force behind much of their lyrics, reflected in the screeching and wailing of the fuzzed out guitar lines and the punching of the group’s rhythmic work.

Around the start of the pandemic in March 2020, the band found themselves, through an act of incredible kindness, at the world renowned Abbey Road Studios in London where they set about recording their debut three track EP. A well-received release, the band have since worked on more material to bring to their growing fanbase and now share one of their recent singles with the track “tesco roof”.

A departure from their usual raucous indie rock sound, on their song “tesco roof” the outfit showcase their pure singer-songwriter talents on this delightful and slow burning piece. Delicate melodic vocal work gently sits above a calming arrangement of light guitar work and subtle rhythms on a timeless and worthy indie rock song.
