Narwhals inhabit arctic waters. The trio known as Gnarwals reside in the slightly less frigid climate of Duluth. Like their namesake “unicorns of the sea,” these local rockers hold a somewhat mythical status among music enthusiasts. With a landscape of pedals set before him, guitarist Sean Moria is the de facto front person of the group, but drummer Jake Daire has a fan club all his own amongst percussion admirers. Bassist Austin Korkowski keeps the ship on course, guiding the sometimes psychedelic freakouts back toward a groove that keeps heads banging.
