The track follows the release of recent single ‘cubicles’
Born out of the North of England and boasting a distinctive sound that harks back to the Britpop and indie rock sounds of the 90s in their own unique way, groan room are a band who’s grungy and unpredictable appeal has worked its way into our hearts here at CLOUT, and their new single ‘if you think it’s cool’ is just the latest addition to their collection of highlights.
The track explores the all-too relatable and anxiety-inducing feeling of life passing you by, like your best years are leaving you behind and you’re stuck feeling like you’re not really here nor there. This is conveyed through a contrasting sound that bleeds from softcore into a wall of sound, permeated with huge crunching guitars and a sense of dread that matches its narrative note for note. The creativity and ambition of groan room’s style is always something that we have admired, and the way that they manage to represent such universal and real feelings along the way is what we feel sets them apart in such a visceral way.
