Grumpynators is a Danish band playing Hard Rock inspired by Heavy Metal and Rockabilly. The mixture of the Metal and Old School genres makes a special sound and appearance because an acoustic double bass is used instead of the more traditional electric bass used in Hard Rock genres.

History

Grumpynators was founded in February 2011 by Christian Nørgaard (Guitar) and Emil Øelund (Guitar, Lead Vocals). Soon after Jakob Øelund (Double Bass) and Kasper Jensen (Drums) joined. Christian first met Emil, Jakob and Kasper when Christian was touring with Volbeat[1] as acoustic guitarist and Emil, Kasper and Jakob was Supporting Volbeat with the Neo Rockabilly Band Taggy Tones.
