Formed in 1999 as a studio project by Rob Grad, this Venice, California based band combines inspired songwriting, clever lyrics, and alternate guitar tunings to create its own brand of modern rock. Superfine has just released their second cd–”Unsound” which has been met with positive reviews from press, radio and the music industry at large. 

Rob was the bass player and a main songwriter in early 90’s hit RCA act Kik Tracee ("You're So Strange") – a time he remembers fondly. “We got signed right out of high school. Everyone has a first band. Ours just got further than some. I hadn’t even heard a Sonic Youth song yet.” The first time he did hear a Sonic Youth song, however, it changed his life. “I remember sitting there thinking, ‘I didn’t know you could do this.’” Later, Jane’s Addiction, Nirvana and Jeff Buckley all provided similar revelations in his musical development. Soon after that first Sonic Youth moment, it became obvious to Rob that he could no longer continue on the same artistic path, so he picked up the guitar, started singing, and left Kik Tracee to start out on his own.

Using a similiar outside-the-box view of his band structure as he does in his songwriting, Rob spawned Superfine, more an extended family of musicians than a traditional band. “I’ve always been surrounded by such talented people, the standard band structure just seemed confining.” Since its inception, Superfine has recorded 2 cds, a 7” vinyl single, and has appeared on the soundtrack to the television show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” which has sold over 200,000 copies to date.

Superfine has 27 songs (both instrumental and with vocals) available for licensing in our Pro Library. Click below to hear samples.
