Biography

Hitchhiking through half of Europe, the escape of a Puma and a few other absurd stories lead us eventually to the year 2001, when a band was formed. A band, named after a little town, where some of its story took place. GROOMBRIDGE.

After an EP (2004), two albums (2007 and 2010), a 7-month caravan tour through Europe (2008/09) and a short Tour in China (2011), GROOMBRIDGE set out to write their 3rd album.

Over a period of three years the band was busy producing their album “Customers From Hell” – with every little detail specifically planned and precisely executed. The same excellence was going to be invested into their next project - so the songwriting began.

The same old story… Slowly but surely, the inspiration started to fade away. One day, the bands computer decided to take on that problem, and a clear and unmistakable message appeared on the screen: PANIC! We are hanging here! Unintentionally, and without starting up its whole operating system, the band was shown what they had disregarded. After a 10-year band history, routine held all the strings in its hand. With this revelation in mind GROOMBRIDGE set off to change the good old structures, find new inspiration, and new ways of songwriting. The result: an album with multiple facets. An album that is all about overcoming indispensable circumstances, yet without presenting any universal truths. An honest self-examination: Panic! We are hanging here!
