Earth Groans is a hardcore punk band that formed in May 2015. The band is from South Dakota.[1]
History
The band formed in May 2015, in South Dakota.[3] The band formed because of Vocalist Jeremy Schaeffer, who felt called to ministry. A week after this feeling, he formed the band with Guitarist Zachariah Mayfield, Bassist Kaden Burton and Drummer Brady Mueller.[4] The band's name came from Romans 8:23.[4][5] Two years after formation, they signed to Solid State Records.[6][7][8][5][9] The band has been touring relentlessly, many times by themselves.[10] Soon after signing, the band released Renovate on May 12.[10][11] The band recently embarked on a tour with Convictions, with Darkness Divided taking the second half, replacing the band.[12] In 2018, Rahab was released. In 2020, the band released their third EP, Prettiest of Things.[13] On March 19, 2020, both Mayfield and Burton announced their departure from the band.[14]
Style
The band has been stated to sound similar to many of the influential Christian hardcore and Christian metalcore acts such as Norma Jean and The Chariot.[1]
