BLUE GRAPE MUSIC WELCOMES FLATWOUNDS TO THE GLOBAL ROSTER

ALBANY-BASED BAND SHARES “CASE LOGIC” VIDEO — WATCH

TOURING THROUGH AUGUST

BLUE GRAPE MUSIC, home to Superheaven, Silly Goose, Gridiron, and a host of other bands that are turning heads in the rock scene, is thrilled to welcome FLATWOUNDS to its global roster.

This up and coming four-piece siphons influence and inspiration from the ’90s grunge, ’00s hard rock, and modern hardcore sound and scenes. Fans of Alice In Chains, System of a Down, and other classic artists of that era will be drawn to Flatwounds’ thick and gloomy guitars, gritty energy, and penchant for melodic hooks that take up real estate in your brain for weeks at a time!

Flatwounds — Colin O’Hare, vocals; Matthew Degnan, guitar; David Granger, bass; and Wade Coonrad, drums — are based in Albany, New York. The band has steadily built a name for itself the grassroots way — by self-releasing a series of EPs and by playing as many shows to as many people as possible. They’ve released three EPs — Down (2023), Raw (2023), and Drain (2024) — and they’ve shared stages with Jigsaw Youth, Show Me the Body, Eyehategod, and Wargasm (UK). It’s an impressive resume for such a young band at the start of its career. It’s also is a clear indicator of where Flatwounds are headed and that’s to the stratosphere.

Today, Flatwounds have shared the video for the new single “case logic.” Watch it here.

The song may sound like it came from another era, but it’s no throwback. It snaps and snarls with a modern current of energy.

“We feel this song sums up the ‘sound’ of Flatwounds quite well,” shares O’Hare.  “It’s about the flaws of humanity and the inherent misery of the human condition.”

Flatwounds are touring through August. The “we’re all so blinded” headline tour dates are below. Get tickets here.

ABOUT BLUE GRAPE MUSIC:
In 2022, industry veterans David Rath and Cees Wessels formed Blue Grape Music.  The name will be familiar to rock music fans, as it was the merchandise company also launched by Wessels, who founded the venerable and esteemed record label Roadrunner Records in the ’80s. Rath spent 21 years in the A&R department at Roadrunner, working on albums by a variety of RIAA-certified and culturally important acts, including but not limited to Slipknot, Korn, Turnstile, Gojira, Coheed and Cambria, White Reaper, Slash, Trivium, Dream Theater, and more.  When the label changed management and ownership, Rath guided the company and oversaw the signings of bands like Young the Giant and Vance Joy.  Ultimately, the Blue Grape executive team is powered by experience and a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-your-hands-dirty, by-any-means-necessary work ethic.  Having just announced the signing of White Reaper, Blue Grape’s inaugural signing was the two-time Grammy nominee Code Orange and since then, the label has gone on to sign an array of rock, metal and hardcore acts, that include Spiritual CrampSuperheavenFugitiveGELGridironDoFlameBike RoutesSilly GooseGASKET and Heavy//Hitter, with several new signing announcements expected this year. Blue Grape Music is distributed globally by The Orchard.
