Don't Sock the Tryer

Grandaddy

Gritty, cassette-saturated indie rock from the band's earliest days. A raw document of suburban alienation told through fuzzy guitars and primitive electronics.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a great band figuring out how to be beautiful while everything is still a little bit broken.

A nervous, high-gain exploration of suburban loneliness and the beauty found in technical imperfection.

I'm So Tired (special bonus)
Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden explosion of fuzzy guitar feedback that disrupts the fragile melody of Lava Kiss
The way the vocals on I'm Not Alright sound like they were recorded through a telephone in a storm
The hypnotic, repetitive synth line in Laughing Stock that slowly builds into a wall of beautiful noise
