Encinitas, California's Doodlebob have been running their death-grind operation since 2015, injecting the San Diego County scene with the kind of short, savage blasts the subgenre demands.

Fast, ugly, and unafraid to be ridiculous, they are a product of Southern California's deep grindcore underground.
