"Singing songs about ghosts and dead gods with a little too much poppy falsetto and nowhere near enough fuzz." That's how the once Virginia-based band describes their sound. Loud and heavy, but with dynamic shifts that lead into a world of groove and ambiance. Woodgrove came into being, as did the genre ’Paxil Pop,’ after a long summer of introspection in 2016. After a number of solo shows, Virginia native Jared Hall Garland was joined by Max Haag, Logan Leverett, and Jake Wentzel to move the band forward in a much heavier and all-encompassing direction. Though often performing as a four-piece, Garland still performs solo with nothing but his suitcase drum, guitar, and voice. While mainly based in the DC metro region, the band has regularly found itself traveling up and down the 81 corridor. Focusing on a blend of ambience and groove, on polarizing songwriting and introspection, the sometimes solo, sometimes four-piece welcomes the ever-present chaos by trying their best to play music as a coping mechanism.

They released their debut EP 'squintyoureyesandseegod' on April 21, 2018. From the band's website:
