ABOUT

Grainbait is a rock trio from The Netherlands that has been thundering across the Dutch music landscape at full force since 2022. With a sound reminiscent of a clash between Audioslave and Wolfmother, Grainbait puts a distinctive twist on (hard) rock, grunge, and blues. Raw, intense, and uncompromising.

Their signature sound is formed by rhythmic guitar parts, powerful vocals, subtle organ tones, and a tight, pounding rhythm section. Grainbait experiments with unusual time signatures and high dynamics, giving their music unexpected depth and intensity.

The year 2024 was a breakthrough for Grainbait. They released four well-received singles, including the striking track ‘The Machine’. This single captures the essence of their sound: a perfect balance between bluesy roots and grunge attitude. In 2025, the debut EP 'Age of Unrest' followed. With 5 songs, the men from Zeeland underscored their new Grunge sound, which they had been working on for a long time. Moreover, they proved their status as a live act with victories in the Podium-Z and T-strijd finals.

With an intense live experience and an original musical approach, Grainbait continues to surprise time and again. They are well on their way to becoming a fixture in the Dutch rock scene and promise to deliver much more in the coming years.
