Groupie

Brooklyn duo Groupie operates in the friction between post-punk rigidity and the loose, melodic instincts of 90s alternative. It’s music that feels lived-in—songs that carry the weight of basement shows and the sharp wit of people who spend too much time thinking about their city. After a quiet period, their uptick in coverage on Stereogum suggests a pivot toward a more polished, intentional era. Keep an eye on how they bridge their DIY roots with this new, higher-fidelity momentum.
