 Icelandic punk trio GRÓA return with their new album ‘Drop P’, a raucous, chaotic and heartfelt record that perfectly captures the band’s DIY ethos and spirit; forever rooted in fun, creativity, and making music with your friends. ‘Drop P’ collects nine feral and discordant anthems for the rebellious and unfiltered.
 Formed in Reykjavík in their teens, GRÓA is made up of sisters Karólína and Hrafnhildur Einars Maríudóttir and their childhood friend Fríða Björg Pétursdóttir. Together, they’ve carved out a sound that fuses art-punk, noise, avant-garde and experimental rock, one that is defined by a sense of urgency and unpredictability.
 GRÓA have become renowned for their dynamic live shows, performing at festivals like Iceland Airwaves, Pohoda and G! Festival, opening for artists like Wilco and Kælan Mikla, performing ahead of DJ sets from Pussy Riot and Björk, and touring extensively throughout Europe and the UK, as well as an Iceland Airwaves Off-Venue Show at Pianos in New York. 
 Their performances have been praised for their communal energy with an improvisational quality, with recordings featured on KEXP. The band’s approach to music is deeply rooted in experimentation and a desire to challenge norms. Karó has even ventured into inventing and constructing her own instruments, reflecting the band’s 
commitment to innovation. As Karó states, “The only rule we follow is that there’s no wrong way to create.”
 It’s within this creative harmony that the album finds it’s absurd but assured voice. “‘Drop P’ is a safe space for us to explore, enjoy, rest and think,” they say. “We gave ourselves more time and worked with a bigger instrument arrangement than ever before, which was very exciting.” They also developed a mantra with which to live by - ‘snouge’. A fictional word and guiding force. “‘Drop P’ is snouge,” they declare. It’s not just a made-up term, but a feeling, a space of artistic fluidity and a state of mind that welcomes strangeness and the unusual.
