Grunvald assimilate sounds from 80's synth-pop through to 00's indie-rock to formulate a heady cocktail of both 'fresh' & 'familiar'. Best served over crushed ice with a slice of unwaxed lemon.

Their latest single, "My Addiction", is a haunting tribute to the 80's film and book Zoo Station (Christiane F. starring non other than David Bowie). The track delves into the dark, turbulent journey of a young girl lost in the grip of heroin addiction amidst the chaotic streets of Berlin. With it's evocative lyrics and powerful melodies, "My Addiction" captures the essence of despair and the search for escape.  

At the helm is Laura, the band's frontwoman and songwriter, who crafts emotionally charged tracks that blend melancholic indie vibes with gritty rock energy. Laura draws her musical inspiration from the likes of Wolf Alice, Paramore, Orla Gartland, Foo Fighters, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand. Laura's style is a sonic collage of modern influences that detail love and heartbreak, set against a backdrop of daily strife & eternal optimism that juxtapose and bind our modern livelihoods. 

The band's chemistry is undeniable: Harry's dynamic drumming infuses each song with infectious indie rock rhythms, while Oliver's bass lines lay down a deep, resonant groove that combines with the beat to enslave your soul. Arrian, on lead guitar, elevates the band's sound with electrifying riffs that add a thrillingly unique twist and provide dark, fascinating edges of beauty.

FFO: sunshine goth

Hi, my name is James. I started producing all genre bedroom beats on FL studio for fun when I was 14 and got obsessed with it, releasing under the name ETAOI.

Over the next 3/4 years I refined my craft and started adding more guitar to my tracks, still releasing lots of stuff on soundcloud regularly. At some point around my 18th birthday I made the decision to go to university for music tech and pursue music/audio as a career.

The tracks on this page are really only the tip of the iceberg and my most fleshed out tunes from this period (thanks to soundcloud's 3hr upload limit!). I still have literally about 200 other tracks that aren't online sitting on my hard drive, if any one particularly cares for me to make them accessible message me on instagram, but these really are about as good as it gets from this period in my journey.

During my time at uni I expanded my horizons a lot more, taking my craft out of the bedroom and into the studio where I started collaborating, producing and engineering, also learnt to play the drums and bass guitar. During this time I retired the ETAOI account and moved on to releasing as @refractortunes temporarily, however soon after I decided to abandon the project and focus on more collaborative projects and securing work coming out of university. 

I'm 23 now and sometimes release music (mostly for fun) on Spotify as James Stickland, so look there or on my Instagram @ jamessticklandmusic for more recent updates. I frequently play gigs in London and Brighton with several bands (mostly as a bassist) and work as a sound engineer at some local venues in London as well as producing and engineering a lot of my friends and collaborators (mostly live instrument based) tunes, so I've really changed direction since first installing FL studio back in 2015. 

Although, if you like this stuff, I've released and am still working on some new solo electronic stuff which will go on the James Stickland spotify page, so definitely keep an eye out. I also frequently post WIPs, outtakes and all types of random crap on the @mylesmadeofmoneyjohnson and @mylesmadeofmoneyjohnson-2 accounts!

5 year fathom watches watches,
stillborn every second second,
every biding breath it botches,
every burden bares it's beckon,

"time's the cup that drinks from you,
the carvened starvened quaffing challice,
press it to your lips anew,"
-Virginiana Hammemalis,

5 year fathom weighs the way,
in 1/16th of ever after,
kindle-clocks counting decay,
in oft regurgitated laughter,

"every thought's a treason plot,
a handle hewn in cares grown callous,
picks you up to smash you down,"
-Virginiana Hammemalis,

5 year fathom rode the road,
it's pressures poured into impostures,
each angle set to explode,
in seamy seams of dream imposters,

"drown your druthers cupid-careful,
find no fears and make no malice,
still you simper for a stareful,"
-Virginiana Hammemalis,

5 year fathom rolls the roles,
the marrow-masks that try to wear him,
tumblings take of tithing  tolls,
their irredeemers
set to scare him,

"dampen drove the bridal bridle,
purity's your pleasure pallace,
phallacy's your idle idol,"
-Virginiana Hammemalis,
