The origins of PJ Grinch began over 10 years ago in Buffalo, N.Y., with brothers traveling in the same musical circles. Now centered in Phoenix, Arizona, they are known on the west coast music scene as a force to be reckoned with.

It was the summer of 2001 when Pete Denzel and Todd Kruger decided to merge their diverse musical talents to form PJ Grinch. Their chemistry quickly became apparent. Pete, the front man, offers strong heartfelt vocals which carry the bands songs into the realm of insight. Together, with his rhythmic guitar and conga playing, his creative talents are a big part of what makes this band stand out. Todd is a rock solid drummer. His use of auxiliary percussion and his strong rhythmic ideals are his unique trademark.

These two wasted no time putting out their debut CD, “Bones,” which introduced the backbone of this up and coming rock band. The west coast tour, “smokin’ bones,” had a remarkable turnout and it helped put PJ Grinch onto the national college radio scene.

It wasn’t until the end of 2002 that the present day line up of PJ Grinch was completed. Justin Parker was a local Phoenix musician with similar musical style and drive. He is an aggressive bass player and an exceptional musician.Ron Reukauf had worked with Pete on four prior albums back east. His lead guitar brings to the table powerful riffs and vivid licks.

Out of this unique collaboration has evolved a solid and unforgettable band.

PJ Grinch released their sophomore CD in the summer of 2004. “Back to You” is a shining example of PJ Grinch’s talent and passion for making music. Poetic and intensely dynamic, “Back to You” showcases the songs which have evolved their style and earned them a devoted following among many. With songs like “Lightning” and its gripping melodies, the honest ballad “Always” and the nonstop energy of “Commotion,” this album is sure to put PJ Grinch into the national spotlight.
