Iceland’s GRÓA Sign To Found Records & Announce Debut US Live Show

Icelandic trio GRÓA announced their signing to the US label Found Recordings. Merging elements of post-punk, noise-rock and art-pop, the band is known for their revelatory live shows, and have opened for acts ranging from Wilco and Pussy Riot to Björk, bringing an explosive and chaotic, yet magnificently arranged sound, unlike any other.

The band will also be making their US live debut next month, performing at the Reykjavík Presents: Iceland Airwaves Off-Venue show, held at New York City’s iconic Pianos venue on May 11th as part of the touring festival, Taste of Iceland. In all of their live shows, the band adds a heady element of free-flowing improvisation to their songs while providing abundant space for audience members to shed their own inhibitions.

“The only rule we follow is that there’s no wrong way to create. We’re obsessed with trying new things and finding more extreme ways to come up with sounds. It’s like our music is a world we’ve made for ourselves, as a way to keep exploring new sounds and new ideas. Nothing is ever a mistake; it’s about having fun and doing what we want and fucking everything up if that feels right. Rebelliousness is definitely a big part of what drives us.”
