Big Seattle sound or Happy Grunge? Maybe both...The musicians in Gruvland grew up in various music scenes, from Seattle to Belfast, N.Ireland. The three-piece was born from bonding over a passion for the melodic and the heavy. After some time playing together, a leap of faith was made to lay down a track at the iconic London Bridge Studio in Seattle, which eventually led to their first album, the self titled, Gruvland. In February 2025, the band reunited with their producer/engineer, Jonathan Plum, at the same studio, to create their second album, Redd. Each member brings a unique musical aesthetic to the band, and over the years, they've grown comfortable jumping genres and mashing up influences. Gruvland band members are Tommy Shinn (Guitar/Vocals/Songwriter), Dave Scattergood (Drums), and Lou McSheffrey (Bass). Albums, Gruvland (2023) and Redd (2025).
