Toronto’s GREYS Announce Signing to
Carkpark Records Worldwide & Buzz Records (CAN)
Debut Full-Length If Anything to Be Released June 17, 2014
Spring US Tour Dates & SXSW Appearances Announced
Greys will tell you they’re a “loud rock band from Toronto”, but that’s deceivingly simple for the sound the quartet has managed to hone to caustic, powerful perfection. After the release of three EPs in as many years (2011’s Ultra Sorta, 2012’s Easy Listening and 2013’s Drift), Greys have finally found their way home to Carpark Records and Buzz Records to release their debut full-length If Anything on June 17, 2014.
Watch the Teaser Trailer for If Anything:
If Anything sees Greys scraping raw the influences of their punk heros, bands such as Drive Like Jehu, Shellac, and Unwound, combining them with a dirty tapestry of angular guitar textures and irregular rhythms that propel the album’s 11 tracks forward at breakneck speed. Yes, the band writes noise rock, but it’s also some of the poppiest music that’s ever been allowed to lay claim to such a title.

Greys have earned a reputation for their crushingly intense live show, one that’s as loud as it is satisfying. Set to play 3 dates at SXSW, they are also touring the US and Canada surrounding those appearances including a string of dates with Roomrunner, and it’s definitely worth checking these guys out when they come through (all tour dates below).
