Ska-core four-piece Grey Matter have released their brand new EP Visitors (stream below). The 6-song EP was recorded with Rick Johnson of Mustard Plug at Cold War Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It features a number local artists in a punchy, fast-paced record packed to the brim with anxious guitar riffs, soaring saxophone solos, and the occasional accordion.
Upcoming Shows:
April 14 – Lansing, MI at Mac’s Bar [Facebook Event]
May 27 – Howell, MI at Bled Fest [Facebook Event]
Since their formation in 2014, Lansing, Michigan’s Grey Matter have been turning heads in their local scene. Between explosive bursts of crunched guitars, raspy screams, and dramatic keyboard sounds, Grey Matter have established themselves as Michigan’s premiere “ska-core” band. With Visitors, Grey Matter show off the development of this calculated blend of hardcore, punk, and ska, while making a statement about the very scene they grew up in. According to vocalist and guitarist Mack Doyle:
“Visitors explores themes of loneliness, justice, and equality in the DIY community. The EP features guests from across Michigan coming together from different genres and communities to complete the sonically diverse project.”
The band celebrate the release next weekend in Lansing, Michigan alongside a star-studded cast of local bands including Backpacks, Rick Johnson Rock & Roll Machine, Convenient, Trash., and Solitary Subversion.
