Their debut full-length studio album, Waking Up The Giants, was released January 8th, 2016.
History
Formation
Grizfolk formed in Los Angeles when Swedish producers Fredrik Eriksson and Sebastian Fritze met singer-songwriter Adam Roth in 2012, who were joined by Brendan Willing James and Bill Delia later that year. Initially, the group was called Griz Adams, but they quickly changed their name to Grizfolk after their demo for the song "The Struggle" went viral on the internet, "something that better reflected what's supported us", Fritze explains.
Early career
In October 2013, Grizfolk performed an in-studio performance for KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. The Santa Monica based station also championed Grizfolk as an "Artist You Should Know". The next day, they performed at KCRW's annual Masquerade Ball alongside Glasser, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Dave Sitek and more. In early 2014, their song "Way Back When" was featured on the soundtrack of the comic science fiction movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman.

Way Back When
by: GrizfolkThere's alway time for living,
Can we just do it again.
One more time like it once was...Way Back When.
You gave me something to believe in,
We were the best of friends.
Well I remember the good times...Way Back When.
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Memories will fade if you wanted me to let you go,
I've got you on your way, i feel it for you don't you know.
We're superheroes and villains,
When we used to pretend.
We go wherever our minds will take us...Way Back When.
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Memories will fade if you wanted me to let you go,
I've got you on your way, i feel it for you don't you know.
It's a promise that I made, never be afraid.
I know we'll be okay, this luck we have it cannot go.
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
And you're on own,
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
Y'not alone,
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
I know i'll see you again, again.
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
And if all these things,
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
Come to an end,
Ahhh oo, Ahhh oo
We'll always have...A Way Back When.
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Memories will fade if you wanted me to let you go,
I've got you on your way, i feel it for you don't you know.
It's a promise that I made, never be afraid.
I know we'll be okay, this luck we have it cannot go.
