The Grim Sons
About The Grim Sons from Auckland
It was a dark and livid night and the beauty of life did seem long lost. So we searched through the depths of our
strangled youth, to bring forth a new and pornographic outlook on a world that had become nothing less than a tainted stain on the universe. It was at this point that The Grim Sons was formed and the message behind our drive had become visible. We started to molest our musical influences for something as filthy and deprived as our timid gaze upon the ever-consuming entity that is grim.
From the moment of conception The Grim Sons have always maintained the constant vibe of darkness, the feeling that life may have just ended but its ok because its so bitter sweet. Keeping this in mind as the songs twist into one another reaching heights and carving depths that are only safe in your imagination. The grim sons make this flesh. The sound cuts through the mainstream to rebuild music from its most basic point and rebirth it as an entity as of yet undescribed.
From beautiful licks to stormy bass lines mingled with solid drumbeats and deep vocal remedies undelayed with soft
touches of keyboards to eminate an elegance rarely seen in the music scene to date.
In short the grim sons will never disappoint or dishonour your expectancy but on the contrary raise the bar of what should be accepted as New Zealand music.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Grim Sons formed in early 2009 when four good friends
began playing music together and realised that the chemistry
between the band was something special and worth pursuing.
The Grim Sons have developed a very unique sound with
influences ranging from The Doors and Led Zeppelin through to such alternative acts as Nick Cave, Portishead and Tom Waits
Evidence that this collective gels and has something to give is that the band already has material for an impressive two
albums and an e.p due out in December followed by a
New Zealand tour planned for January/ February 2010.
With shows mounting and a fanbase which is continuing to grow and pick up momentum you can expect to see
The Grim Sons appearing on gig guides and summer festival line ups throughout the country this year and into the next.
