Dungeon Grind was formed in early 2006 by Tommy Kramer (lead guitar, lead vocals) and Dallas Profitt (drums). The band's early lineup included a rotating bassist, often a stand-in from Tommy's father’s band, Larry and the Lobsters. Their first performance took place in May 2006 at the Madison Township Spring Fest in West Middletown, Ohio.

Following their debut, the band expanded its lineup. Dallas Profitt transitioned from drums to lead guitar and backing vocals, while Tommy Kramer took on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Jake Stanifer joined as the drummer, and Dallas’s younger brother, Dylan Cole, became the bassist.

The band primarily covered songs from AC/DC, along with selections from Green Day and KoЯn. Despite gaining local recognition, Dungeon Grind disbanded in 2007 and has not reunited.
