Default Intermittent grinding when braking

I'm having a problem with a sound coming from my rear. Every time I brake at low speeds (under 20), I hear an oscillating (vibrating/intermittent) grinding...sort of like a "wop wop wop" sort of thing, that slows down with the speed of the car. It's been there for a while, and it used to only happen after I'd been driving the car for about 20 minutes, but now it happens all the time. Not sure what it is, but it sounds awful.

Any ideas?
Thanks

i'd guess your rear brake pads and rotors are both shot.
