Grandaddy is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Modest Mouse, Earlimart, Band of Horses, Rooney and Elliott Smith.

They run in the same orbit as Jason Lytle, Stephen Malkmus, Yo La Tengo, Superchunk and Heatmiser, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into PUP, Syd Matters, Rockfour, Midlake and Flotation Toy Warning, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
