Who Is grandson? | grandson on 'The Suicide Squad' and Being Punk in 2021

Effortlessly combining electronic, hip-hop, and rock 'n' roll, grandson is ushering forth a new wave of politically-minded punk music. Boldly confronting the sociopolitical issues - from political corruption to environmental pollution - that affect his growing legion of fans, grandson stands as an artist not content just to make hits but intent on leaving a lasting impression on the world around him. We had the chance to sit down with grandson at Lollapalooza to discuss what it was like having his song become The Suicide Squad theme song, what punk looks like today, and how he deals with burnout.
