Who remembers the 90s Nickelodeon show, Ahh! Real Monsters? To fill in the knowledge gaps, it was a show about colourful monsters who attended an academy ran by the intimating and atogonistic headteacher, The Gromble. This four-legged educator has absolutely nothing to do with the Orange County synth-pop band of the same name. We suppose the only thing they have in common is that they are severely underrated.
The Gromble (band not monster) are an indie-pop quartet who have been working away at getting ears on their infectious music for a few years now. Comparisons have been drawn to Neutral Milk Hotel and Smashing Pumpkins but you'll probably find this new track, 'Real Sympathy', landing closer to an inverse rework of that electronic Bright Eyes album, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, with 100% additional sunshine.
Nominated for an Independent Music Award for their last EP, The Gromble are on the right track to becoming ambassadors for new Cali music. The last couple of years for the indie sounds of West Coast has transpired into a melting pot of angsty surf-punk a la Wavves, so it's refreshing to hear music that extracts the optimism of their surroundings but maintains the glitchy sentimentality.

The Gromble are constantly working on new music and will hopefully be over in the UK for some touring dates so to keep up with all that's going on with this awesome upcmong band, be a good person and swing by their social media channels below:
