What they’re saying

“There's a lot going on in our sound, but we keep the essence of the project cohesive. We have broad influences between the three of us, and you can definitely tell that there's an old school feel to what we're writing, but by combining all of these styles and adding in that vulnerable aggression provided by the lyrics, we're looking to create something a little different for modern ears.”

— Kellie, vocalist/guitarist of Grudgestep
