Grumpster's Fever Dream

Posted by Loren on May 8, 2022

Grumpster returns with a new album on Pure Noise Records, titled Fever Dream and set for release on June 17.

The title track is shared below.

The band previously released Underwhelmed, which lost some momentum when the pandemic struck, leading the band to move forward with a follow-up quicker than initially planned.

“We waited and waited to tour Underwhelmed, but things never stopped looking pretty bleak,” says Falyn Walsh of the band in a press statement. “We ended up doing a live stream with Anti-Flag during the pandemic where Chris #2 told us, ‘Write some new songs and let me produce them!’ We thought, ‘Oh, god, I guess we have to make a new record now.’”
