Ancestor Croll began as a duo of two brothers, Caleb and Seth Griffin. Seth had been playing in a couple of cover bands, but needed an outlet for his own songwriting. Explains Caleb, "Seth was coming up with these interesting new songs, so we started coming up with lyrics. The problem was that I didn't play any instruments! It was just Seth on guitar and me singing, so it sounded really thin and flat. So I got a bass guitar and that was really the start of Ancestor Croll." The band began looking for drummers and eventually invited Rafael Garcia to drum for them. They played their first gig at Kilby Court, Salt Lake City; opening for the New York Indy band Neon Indian. Since then, they have recorded their self-titled LP, and played around the western United States. Seth and Caleb are expatraite South Africans; Rafael
Garcia is Columbian. They currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah.
