Band Review: Grumpster

Grumpster is a punk band from Oakland.

They just released a new album in November on Asian Man Records.

Underwhelmed starts out strong with the title track. I especially liked "Crumbling" and "Tunnel Vision" as well.

If it is not obvious from those titles, life is kind of a bummer. Lyrics are about anxiety, nausea and people who use you up. Yes, that sounds like life.

But music is not a bummer and punk music definitely isn't. Punk can take all of those rotten things and still laugh and have a good time.

Grumpster is a good time, even if the name implies they might yell at you to get off the grass. In reality they would probably let you yell, and you'd feel better for it.
