30 Odd Foot of Grunts formed in Austin, Texas in 1990 around singer-songwriter Eric Campuzano. The band included bassist Marty Munroe, guitarist Craig Macintyre, and drummer Dave Ruiz. They developed a sound that leaned toward the introspective side of alternative rock, avoiding the louder styles that were common at the time.
In 1995, they released the album 'Compared to What,' which featured the song 'Never Be Alone Again.' That track became their most recognizable work. The band's lineup saw changes over time, with Macintyre leaving in 1997 and Ruiz departing in 2001.
They put out six studio albums, including 'The Kids Today Are All Right' in 1997 and 'The Late Great 30 Odd Foot of Grunts' in 2003. Other songs like 'The Weight Of A Man' and 'Afraid' reflect their consistent focus on moodier, atmospheric rock.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
