🎵 The Grouser – A Dark Folk Tale from the Shadows of London 🎵

Dive into the grim, rain-soaked underworld of Victorian London with "The Grouser", a narrative music cycle blending gritty folk, murder ballad atmosphere, and cinematic storytelling. Follow the clash between Oswald —a man twisted by ridicule into becoming the fearsome "Grouser"—and Albert Shaw, the publican fighting to protect his legacy and his pub, The King’s Arms.

This is not just music—it’s an auditory experience. From the dripping cellars of Wapping to the sawdust-strewn floors of Hammersmith, each track pulls you deeper into a world of resentment, revenge, and resilience.
