A “boy band for the end times,” Asbury Park-based indie upstarts Grasser are the Makin Waves Song of the Week with one of two recently released singles from the debut album, “Get Real, Quick!”

The intoxicating chronicle of the dissolution of a toxic relationship, “Get Back 2 Me Never” precedes an early 2022 vinyl release of the LP on South Jersey indie ByrdHouse Records. The single’s clip was helmed by the texture-rich trio and edited by acclaimed indie auteur Dana Yurcisin.

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, mesmerizing “Get Back 2 Me Never” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on Dec. 3 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. 

The salty strut of “Who Do I See” also teases to a long-awaited vinyl LP release delayed by a pandemic-altered manufacturing schedule. The accompanying band-lensed clip also was edited by Dana.

Both songs feature great harmonies led by Biff Swenson, drummer of the beloved Asbury two-piece Yawn Mower, as well as the legendary Shore act River City Extension.

A winter/spring Grasser tour is in the works. In the meantime, stream and follow them at: Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, Facebook

"Quarto Valley, those guys picked me up and they released the record which is a tribute to Hubert Sumlin. Paul Rodgers put out a statement on his Facebook saying something to the effect of, it's good to see a young guitar player like Sean paying tribute to one of the best Chicago Blues players ever. Hubert was one of the best string benders ever or something like that; basically giving me props for paying tribute to Hubert."
