Endless Grey
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In autumn of 2004 a group of talented musicians came together to form Endless Grey, a Seattle-based band known for their melodic brand of moody goth-rock. Since then, they have graced the Seattle scene with an inventive combination of ethereal keyboard melodies, soaring guitar solos, and introspective lyrics reminiscent of Depeche Mode, HIM, and Charon, yet unmistakably Endless Grey.
In 2005, Endless Grey released a three-song, self-titled demo that was quickly and enthusiastically met with a strong online following. The band began playing shows at popular Seattle venues such as ?the Catwalk?, ?Jimmy Z?s? and ?The Rainbow?, as well as mainstays such as ?Studio Seven?, ?El Corazon?, and Pioneer Square?s ?Central Saloon?. All of this culminated in Endless Grey headlining Headbanger?s Holiday in 2006 and singer Darin Wrigley?s live interview with KISW?s ?Loud and Local Show?, which opened the door for frequent air play of the band?s early recordings.
Soon after, Endless Grey went into the studio to record their first full-length album, ?The Addition of Strangeness to Beauty?, a collection of ten original tracks and a cover of Depeche Mode?s ?Policy of Truth?. In 2007 the band graced the Seattle live music scene to promote their new album and was met with both an enthusiastic and growing fan base.
Through the course of the next year, the band endured some changes to their lineup, including the replacement of a guitarist, and a dizzying number of bass players. Undaunted, Endless Grey hit the studio once more to record a five-song EP entitled ?Until the End?. The album was released in July 2009, and became a shining example of what the band had worked so hard to achieve in terms of songwriting and production value.
