There are two bands with this name:
1. Sludge/doom metal from Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Bandcamp
2. Common musical tastes and attitudes brought together Bradley Hodgson, vocalist and guitarist, and Keanon Liggatt, guitarist... whom you could refer to as Grovel's "founding" members. Grovel began to create and emanate a sound that developed into a young naive energy... but under the surface, waiting to be scratched by time's nails lied more emotion, intensity, complication, and romanticism than we could ever imagine. With the addition of a polite third guitarist, John Ferguson, a very talented and focused bass player, Mark Johnson, and straight-forward powerful drummer, Brian Frisbie, the band developed into a wall of noise: melody, harmony, emotion, love, frustration, and an expression of it's members for the woes of life itself.
Grovel had complicated, intelligent song structures, poetic lyrics, personal intent and content, and strong rhythms abound, held together by the glue that is our common intention as musicians and artists, to express and perform what is in our hearts and minds for the interpretation of listeners and watchers. Live shows were the anchor of their passion for music. As far as influencing their sound, they cited Sonic Youth, HUM, and Sunny Day Real Estate, though none of them really wanted direct comparisons.
