Story of Sadurn

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sadurn exploded onto the indie rock scene. What began in 2017 as a solo project for G DeGroot, armed with a newly acquired guitar and a songbook brimming with potential, quickly evolved. The addition of Jon Cox on guitar later that year solidified the duo, who began making waves in the city's vibrant DIY circuit as an acoustic act.

By 2019, Sadurn had inked a deal with Dead Definition Records, releasing two EPs: "Gleam" and a highly-anticipated split with Ther. A significant lineup expansion in 2020 saw Amelia Swain joining on drums and Tabitha Ahnert on bass, bolstering their sound. This expanded lineup culminated in the announcement of their debut album, Radiator, via Run for Cover Records in February 2022. Released on May 6th, 2022, Radiator cemented Sadurn's position in the indie rock world. Their impact was undeniable, earning them the coveted "Best of What's Next" accolade from Paste magazine, a testament to their undeniable talent and potential.
