Grayshot


"An EP that sounds like another radio-bound Coldplay/Fray-copping U.K. pop-rock act. And I mean that in a good way."
--Chris Riemennschneider, The Star Tribune / Vita.mn

Two brothers from Minneapolis form the band Grayshot. The brothers, Aaron(27) and Christian(24), are the only permanent members of the band. When they play live shows they often times have a friend fill in for them (Kevin Holvig or Steve Goold). With the recent release of their second EP, Waiting Days, they are receiving radio play on stations like cities97 and have guest played on a number of shows, such as the Minnesota show Showcase Minnesota. The brothers generate a sound much like that of popular Brit rock bands Keane, Coldplay, and the Colorado band, the Fray. You can sneak a listen of some of their tunes from their myspace page. If you like what you hear, their EP can be bought right from their myspace page, along with some of their merch, or their music can be found on iTunes. They have found favor in a lot of eyes, including a wide variety of critics and the Save By the Bell actor, Mario Lopez. Be sure to check out their performance on the Showcase Minnesota below, courtesy of YouTube.
