POETRY FROM PAIN OUT NOW VIA BLUE GRAPE MUSIC

TOURING WITH SUMMER SLAUGHTER THIS MONTH

GRIDIRON — Matthew Karll, vocals; Will Kaelin, guitar and vocals; Xavier Wilson, guitar; Lennon Livesay, bass; and Tyler Mullen, drums —dropped new album Poetry From Pain earlier this year via Blue Grape Music. Get it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for the bouncy banger “Heavy Metal Money (Seen It All Before)” feat. Big Body Bes.

Watch it here.

Gridiron, fresh off a plate-shifting performance at Rough Trade in NYC, will bring Poetry From Pain to fans and will bring venues to their knees all summer long. All upcoming confirmed tour dates with Summer Slaughter are below.

Gridiron, which originally formed as a pandemic project and have since grown into a full-fledged entity, features members of Never Ending Game, Simulakra, and Scarab, and connects the Philadelphia, Delaware, and Michigan areas.

Pushing every boundary to a breaking point, Gridiron will go to any extreme and then some. They follow quite possibly the most unpredictable playbook in the game. The band might flood the zone with a corpsepaint-smearing death metal barrage only to double back around for a victory lap narrated by blinged-out and braggadocios bars. Their hybridization of metal, hardcore, and hip-hop wouldn’t be out of place at either OZZfest 1997 or Rolling Loud 2027.

It’s why the quintet have bulldozed their own path as a phenomenon with millions of streams and acclaim from StereogumBrooklyn VeganNO ECHO, and more.

Gridiron were born out of a series of COVID-era marathon Call of Duty sessions, which led to writing and recording together. Their musical pedigree spoke for itself with Will also in Never Ending Game, Xavier in Simulakra, and Tyler and Lennon in Scarab. Given their individual experiences, the guys instantly locked into a creative groove. Following the Loyalty At All Costs EP [2020] and Worldwide Brotherhood EP [2021], they dropped their first full-length, No Good At Goodbyes [2022]. Along the way, they also shared stages with everyone from Missing Link to Trapped Under Ice and have plenty of upcoming touring planned for 2025.

And now, Poetry From Pain is here and it slays.

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 SlipknotKornTurnstileGojiraCoheed and CambriaWhite ReaperSlashTriviumDream 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 Texas thrash heavyweights Fugitive, 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 CrampSuperheavenGELGridironDoFlameBike RoutesSilly GooseGASKET, and Heavy//Hitter, with several new signing announcements expected this year. Blue Grape Music is distributed globally by The Orchard.
