Description
Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. Produced by Brett Romnes (Hot Mulligan, The Front Bottoms), Grumpster is the sound of a once-green act coming into their own as players and writers - as the now-quartet use their sweat-soaked punk rock flame not to set their past ablaze, but bravely light the path ahead. Hernandez's gruff vocals on tracks like "Bottom Feeder" and "Just For Fun" offer a grittier counter to Walsh's more saccharine delivery, while new textures, tones, and grooves expand the band's sonic playbook into post-grunge ("Grey"), fuzzed-out alternative ("Bern Needs His Meds") and 6/8 surf rock ("SSBpt2") without losing the passion fans have come to expect.
