Grizfolk is a five piece alternative rock band consisting of Adam Roth (lead vocals, guitar), Sebastian Fritze (synthesizer, backing vocals), Fredrik Eriksson (guitar), Brendan James (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Bill Delia (drums). Based in Los Angeles with roots in Sweden, Grizfolk released their debut EP, From The Spark, in February 2014. Their debut full-length studio album, Waking Up The Giants, was released January 8th, 2016.
Grizfolk formed in Los Angeles when Swedish producers Fredrik Eriksson and Sebastian Fritze met singer-songwriter Adam Roth in 2012, who were joined by Brendan Willing James and Bill Delia later that year. Initially, the group was called Griz Adams, but they quickly changed their name to Grizfolk after their demo for the song "The Struggle" went viral on the internet, "something that better reflected what's supported us", Fritze explains.
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". The next day, they performed at KCRW's annual Masquerade Ball alongside Glasser, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Dave Sitek and more. In early 2014, their song "Way Back When" was featured on the soundtrack of the comic science fiction movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
