Groom The Giant are a four-piece wizard grunge band hailing from the hills of Llangollen and Wrexham, North Wales. Self-proclaimed actual wizards and purveyors of post-traumatic rock, their sound blends grunge-laden grooves with a dose of sludgy stoner rock, all while flailing fearlessly into the depths of psychedelia. The result? Heavy, melodic riffs and hypnotic grooves conjured fresh from the ether.
The band released their follow-up EP Old Toby in September 2025, a musical journey that continues the efforts to codify the myths and legends of Celtic heritage and magical fiction into a format of loud, danceable grunge; with songs inspired by the plagues of King Lludd (from where the Welsh flag gets its iconic red dragon) and explorations of omnipotence, to tributes to Gandalf’s favourite tobacco.
Groom The Giant’s live performances are a visceral experience – heavy, high-energy, and hypnotic. Their shows combine thunderous riffs, soaring melodies, and a magnetic stage presence that leaves audiences shaken and spellbound. Dressed in eye-catching costumes that capture the wild, mystical spirit of the band, they transform every set into something theatrical and otherworldly. Whether conjuring chaos in an intimate venue or commanding a festival stage, they have a knack for winning over new followers with every performance.
