GRIM FANDANGO

About Me



Formed mid-2006, Grim have finely crafted a unique sound that transcends their hardcore/punk roots. Characterized by intertwining jangling guitars, abrasive three-way vocal melodies and a tight driving rhythm section Grim Fandango write ferocious, discordant songs beaming with an undeniable presence of pop-sensibilty and optimism. In their relatively brief time together Grim Fandango have had the honour of sharing the stage with The Gaslight Anthem, The Bouncing Souls, The Bronx, Smoke Or Fire, Strike Anywhere, Avail and A Wilhelm Scream.
