Grandaddy

The band's musical style often combines experimental electronic sounds with elements of folk and rock. Lyrics generally focus on isolation in a high-tech world grafted onto rural America. Common themes in the band's music are wildlife, obsolete technology, robots, incompetency and heartbreak.

The 1997's acclaimed full-length 'Under the Western Freeway' proved Grandaddy's creative breakthrough, and the following year the album was reissued on major-label V2, with 'Summer Here Kids' earning Single of the Week honors in the pages of the NME. The Broken Down Comforter Collection, a compilation of singles tracks, preceded the 1999 Signal to Snow Ratio EP, which heralded a movement toward the vintage electronic textures further in evidence on 2000's superb 'Sophtware Slump'.

'A.M. 180' from Under the Western Freeway was featured prominently during a sequence in the 2002 British film 28 Days Later, and is also used as the title music for the BBC Four series Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe and for an advert for Colin Murray's BBC Radio 1 show. As of April 2008, "A.M. 180" also is being used in television commercials for the Dodge Journey automobile. Starting in late 2005, the Grandaddy song "Nature Anthem" could be heard in a Honda Civic Hybrid television commercial and is currently heard in a Coca Cola commercial.

The Spring of 2003 saw Grandaddy released the Floating Debris EP and their fourth full-length, Sumday, and spent the rest of the year touring, making appearances at festivals such as Glastonbury. The full-length album 'Just Like the Fambly Cat' followed in 2006.

Some of the stand out tracks include 'A.M. 180', 'Nature Anthem', 'Skateboarding Saved Me Twice'.
