just found this band because we’re going to play a show with them in Žilina Slovakia on 26.8. and they sound so great! and the fact that they played a live show on KEXP is amazing!

[@direwolfmusic]

As an English speaker I have no way of telling if these are the real tracklisting or someone making fun of it lol

[@raulastic]

@@direwolfmusic Hahaha! Is the real name of the songs xD

[@davidadams2395]

These teens, none older than 17, bring all the passion and intensity of Punk, but with a quirkiness we can expect from Icelanders.

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

David Adams a touch or ESG

[@gregory7958]

Oh Iceland, I love you so much...

[@slowbear7655]

This is the most fascinating band I've heard in years. Keep it going Gróa!

[@freddielkk307]

12:58

[@daudidaudi]

Dafug?

[@ceyf8724]

I think the bass grooves are cool and the drumming compliments it just fine. Its a vibe for sure. I like it.its raw and powerful

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Yep,my thoughts exactly

[@galerestatevineyardwinery2638]

Was lucky to see these amazing ladies in 2017 and they just keep getting better!!! Best band have heard in years...and I saw Ramones/THeads/etc etc in 70-80s. KEEP GOING GIRLZ!!!

[@S.o.J.o.S]

Icelandic music always gets me homesick and I never even been to this country.

[@tee_es_bee]

Raw, unfiltered, genuine. I love it!

[@saddestchord7622]

I hear what they're going for. They look very young and if they stick with it they'll get there.

[@davidadams2395]

They are in their teens.

[@TheJulioChaul]

Great presentation...love when they sing together, very original stuff!!

[@wizardofrumination9626]

@12:52 Awesome:) When she tapes the notes down @13:52, the pause makes the moment @14:01 incredibly satisfying. Probably one of the best bits of music I've ever heard. Vibing to this on a daily basis now.

[@bokykolar9517]

The sound is agressive, yet comes in so naturally, great one

[@CrocsQT]

love whats going on here. the bass player definitely stands out the most to me though. love her play-style.

[@poitaots5054]

I get some b52 vibes with the singing. I like it. Super fun stuff.

[@jeremylee4120]

They have potential…I would like to hear it tightened up and harder, more gusto.

[@andrewdlarge]

Strong take, dawg. While you're at it, you should write a letter to Pavement and coach them up on sounding like a real professional music act.

[@clivemortimore8203]

I watch this when it was streamed live. I have been waiting for it to be uploaded, it was wonderful then and even better seeing a second time. now to watch it again and again.

[@frankobs.1633]

Yoko ono revival bands! Lol

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Uniquely talented band, that's a "RAWK!" from me,LOL!🤘😎

[@pedrovaldez8335]

the best of the KEX shows for IA 2019

[@JK-Berlin]

Yes, I've been at IA19 (thanx to KEXP@KEX videos) but glad having missed that show. Rather reminds of some psychedelic experiments in the early seventies. However, before writing this comment just asked myself whether I was odd not to recognize what's cool about this, so I looked up the IA19 App: rank by being scheduled_ 186. out of 400+ (without KEXP probably less) rank by likes_ 124. (16 Likes) Still will return for IA2020 - cause there's so much more...

[@bokykolar9517]

And 20:10 🤯🤯🤯

[@macupie]

This girl band is the icelandic Dilly Dally for sure :P

[@grummanfly]

Sounds like an indie rock/punk version of another icelandic female trio Kælan Mikla, less ethereal and passionate though, but still interesting and enjoyable.

[@clivemortimore8203]

Apparently Kælan Mikla are fans of GRÓA

[@kalbuzzero]

@@clivemortimore8203yes and friends with them, they have played together a couple of times and Gróa was the opening act for Kælan Mikla’s release show in 2021 😊

[@inkysquid176]

I liked it but I just wish I knew what they were on about.

[@cookiepuss6296]

did they also mix the session lmao

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Haha

[@VJAYmp3]

bruh.

[@rafaelronzon2570]

What kind of "B-52's" is this? :v I like it

[@clappingjazzhands9408]

I really like this band!

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

I love this, it is making me crack up laughing....I want to buy their cd. They are completely off the wall lol.

[@doctorpandaface2649]

Sounds gnarly :)

[@davidfriend1919]

I would say it's Good musicianship and it is very creative with the keyboards and guitar , the drummer i found to be very talented , the bass player is good too . Great potential just needs some more structure and could stand to thicken the sound out some , make it more dynamic . All in all ,very nice for amateur scene .Also there were a couple times the stage presence could be better , confidence i think .

[@vitalymolotov455]

Wow! I love it!

[@leslyegyke]

This is true punk

[@pablosanches2397]

Iceland should be renamed as Sopranoland

[@gabrielnapa9609]

me encanta

[@Excalico]

I remember my first band.

[@YouAdolfo97]

outstanding performance... cof cof cof

[@richlight]

The F word is the same in their language . . I think. Had to watch the whole performance

[@falsejaguar]

So is Europe on another planet? I don't understand the cultural significance or context at all. This is awesome, whatever it is!

[@flyingcheff]

Can't we just sit down and talk about it?

[@tdkdikenal5585]

High taste music

[@lalunadelhuerfano9338]

Genial 👽

[@asunday2207]

Someone likes Warpaint

[@Buhhhhhhhhhhhh.]

Messy and good

[@heatedoyster2]

i like that bass and drums, gimme the feels of and early arctic monkeys sheffield bassement rehearsals, but that voice is out of place on the mix, specially on those screams, they are nice, but the mix doesnt.

[@mv7853]

Alright v nice

[@fa627]

Es dificil describir esto xdd No me gusta, pero tampoco me parece malo.

[@TheWarrrenator]

Recent graduates of the Meg White School for Music.

[@sale9667]

[@zacharyharris438]

Lol

[@MartaRzehorz]

damn look at these people in the comments being so out of touch, smh

[@jonatanambrosicrestani2009]

anarchic sound

[@thecodeman1269]

Pass

[@entrax5453]

i feel bad and guilty beeing a man just by looking at them and hearing their music :D

[@pootershnitzel]

What’s the hype with this band? I’ve heard high school bands better than this mediocre stuff...

[@mindiramandarina286]

🤷🏽‍♀️.... The lyrics?? I don't know, I don't even understand what she says.... :/

[@DiamorphineDeath]

Politics dude

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Being a musician myself, I can hear what's good about them. They're pretty unique in their own way and that's good. I understand that being unique and different doesn't equal "great" but it is something that gives them a charm...a "raw" charm ,I guess. LOL!🤘😎✌

[@strohbaron]

it's not so bad. but of course I don't think it's utra cool. There is much more worse music on KEXP available. But I like to thank KEXP to broadcast all the things. Its like live music in pubs. 👍 A little bit surprising.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

@@strohbaron Right on! I feel the same...I like the good,bad & th' ugly,lol

[@youtoo4848]

типо нашей ИВАНОВА

[@a1mbient]

Honestly terrible. It’s the hipster music that tries to sound ugly in its mission to be cool enough.

[@robertkill9886]

What is this a joke?

[@cookiepuss6296]

thats a yikes from me dawg

[@NanashiXoxo]

at the age where everyone wants to be different... :D

[@benjaminbach9529]

Honestly this is painful to listen to

[@lewismillar-nelson4953]

;)

[@HIJOSBONICOS]

Peor imposible

[@rguimond]

How this band is able to have a name for themselves is quite odd. There is little to no talent in this trio.

[@kalbuzzero]

What is talent in your opinion?

[@rguimond]

@@kalbuzzero Musical ability. Singing ability. Construction of a song/chord progressions. Executing excellent instrumental skills.

[@strontiumdog3344]

Not diverse enough for me. Try harder to be worse.

[@MrEdu-cj2vl]

terrible music and singing. the should go for covers, they're clearly don't know what they're doing

[@martinxxx72]

What's that crap?
