History

Formation

Grizfolk formed in Los Angeles when Swedish producers Fredrik Eriksson and Sebastian Fritze met singer-songwriter Adam Roth in 2013, who were joined by Brendan Willing James and Bill Delia later that year.

Early career

In October 2013, Grizfolk performed an in-studio performance for KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. The Santa Monica based station also championed Grizfolk as an "Artist You Should Know". [3] The next day, they performed at KCRW's annual Masquerade Ball alongside Glasser, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Dave Sitek and more.[2] In early 2014, their song "Way Back When" was featured on the soundtrack of the comic science fiction movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman.[4]

From The Spark EP

It was followed by the band'’s first modern rock single, “"Hymnals". Remix veteran RAC also released his version of “"Hymnals",” which rose to #1 on The Hype Machine.[5] Other From The Spark remixes were released by Saint Pepsi, Tyde and Dawn Golden.

Touring

Grizfolk supported label mates Bastille on their European and U.S. tours in Spring and Fall of 2014 respectively, including two sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.[6] Grizfolk has also toured with several other artists on the alternative circuit, including Haim and Wild Cub.
