Hailing from Bournemouth (England’s Riviera!) grifter have an arsenal of songs!
Armed not only with their instruments, but a passion for creating timeless songs,
grifter produces a sound far bigger than its four members.
As well as receiving many accolades for their studio work, they are also making big waves live, having supported such artists as Editors, Jonny Panic, and The Paddingtons (to mention a few) they continue to add to their ever-growing fan base.
“This is indie rock at its best, melodic, catchy, instantly memorable. On the 8th day. God created Grifterok that’s not true, but they sound great and they are
all ridiculously good looking even when reflected in spoons!!!”

Playing the Metro club in London was a great gig. Recently we played at the Betsey Trotwood where the crowd were singing out our choruses and that was very cool. Also supported the Editors.
