Graystar


I found this band by following up on a comment that was left by Katy. It turns out that she's the manager of this awesome band. Thanks so much for leaving the comment, because now I'm a fan for life. On my show yesterday I played " Free" and " Cry No More" and my listeners absolutely loved the song, so here they are peeps..Graystar were formed in 2003 by Dominic James after he wrote the material in his hometown of Liverpool. After performing over 70 gigs around the UK, they released their debut album ‘A Million Pieces’ in September. With stand out tracks like ‘Free’ and ‘Cry No More’, they’ve gained worldwide attention from top radio presenters, impressive reviews from popular music media, and a steady increase of online sales of their album, along with their international fan base. In the album, James’ melodic and introspective lyrics are paired with otherworldly atmospheric production to create a collection of passionate and enigmatic songs. They are already in the process of producing their second album. The first single, "I Disappear" is set for release on February 10, 2008. The band: Dominic James, vocals, guitar, keyboards: Craig Finnie, lead guitar: Tim Dyer, keyboards: John Reynolds, bass: Neil Hartley, drums.
