40 Grit is known worldwide for churning out thunderous songs. Now the band has infused thunder with melody to spark a rebirth that will turn heads of die-hard metal fans, while wooing fans from the mainstream. 40 Grit's music is the epitome of hypnotic hooks and seismic rhythms that pump the blood and send fans home from concerts with screams still buried in their throats.
"The meat of what makes us 40 Grit is still very much alive," said Chris Anderson, Guitar/vocal for the group, which is one of the leaders in the Bay Area's booming music scene. "Our sound might have evolved, but we'll still take down a house with our power."
Based in Concord, Calif., this dynamically charged rock band has a talent for belting out a steady blend of ferocious music backed with melodic vocals. With an evolved sound that both empowers and enrages, the band is perfectly poised to capture worldwide interest. Powerslave.com, the Bay Area's Webzine for the underground metal community, calls 40 Grit's new edge "a more healthy, melodic yet sonically pushing style."
The band's members consist of James Santiago (vocals/guitar), Chris Anderson (guitar) Kevin Young (bass), who has been with the band since its inception in 1997, and Andy Green (drums) has been the newest addition to 40 Grit since 2001. The foursome has grown such a reputation for their flawless, invigorating live performances that they have shared stages with heavy hitters such as Soil, Machine Head, Nothing Face, Meshuggah, Testament, Skinlab, Soulfly As well as have done very successful European tours with the likes of Pro-Pain and S.O.D.
