Austin’s Grocery Bag are more significant than a Sam Mendes metaphor. The quartet are the punk royalty of the West Campus co-op scene, but their reign and lore have reached faraway lands, as far as Australia. Since forming in 2023, the group has opened locally for OSEES and Frankie & the Witch Fingers, and earlier this year, they opened for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets on 22 dates of their tour.
Along with being booked and busy, the group is working on their sophomore album, due out early next year. Hot off their Static Mirage EP comes “Lies,” a quick, punchy romp that bottles their garage-punk ferver and washed out, surf-psych vocals.
“Lies” is out now. Grocery Bag play 29th Street Ballroom August 16th with Queen Serene, Hunch, and DJ ITDOESNTHURTME.
