  • Grinspoon are an Australian post-grunge band from Lismore, fronted by Phil Jamieson with Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass, and Kristian Hopes on drums. Founded in 1995, they came to fame when they were Unearthed by national, commercial-free radio station Triple J thanks to their track "Sickfest". This won them the competition for the Lismore area. The band was heavily influenced by the nu metal movement in their early career, including the bands Helmet and Prong, and developed a strong following among mosh pit crowds. Their sound changed in their later career to a more mainstream rock sound with their 2002 album New Detention at which point they lost many original fans, while gaining fans in the mainstream pop music market. Lyrically, the band are very cryptic and disjointed, most lines from their songs not relating to the next, and songs rarely making sense as a whole. This is attributable to writer Phil Jamieson's tendency to pen short lyrics of only a few lines each, and then tying these together into a song, resulting in a lack of consistent themes. The band name was taken from marijuana supporter Dr. Lester Grinspoon. The band has at times promoted recreational drugs during concerts and in their song lyrics. Jamieson has also gained a reputation throughout the industry as a heavy drinker. The band has had limited success in the United States, most notably for the songs "Champion", which featured in Gran Turismo 3, "Post Enebriated Anxiety", which was on the international version of Guide to Better Living, "Chemical Heart", via the internet, and a cover of the Prong song "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck", originally from their "Pushing Buttons" EP, which was included on .

Fortement influencé par le nu-metal et le metal alternatif, Grinspoon s'est également fait connaître en enregistrant l'une des pistes musicales du jeu vidéo Gran Turismo 3. Les influences musicales du groupe vont de Bush à Radio Birdman, en passant par les Beatles et Ween.
