Gran Ronde

Named after a river in vocalist/guitarist Christopher Pearson’s home state of Oregon, New Wave/post-punk revivalists Gran Ronde got their start in 2004. Based in Los Angeles, Pearson, Bryan Hobbs (bass), Fernando Sanchez (drums) and Neil Parek (guitar) performed at SXSW in March 2008 and released their EP On And On on Filter US Recordings the same year, followed by their full length debut album, Secret Rooms. The album's UK release is scheduled for June 8, 2009 through Friends Vs Records.

Disciples of mood-laden British bands such as The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Oasis, Gran Ronde have the style and sound of a lot of the bands that have emerged from the post punk indie scene - only better. Secret Rooms is filled with mesmerizing guitar riffs, reverb choruses and foot stomping beats that will undoubtedly fill with joy fans of Interpol, The Killers, The Bravery, Bloc Party, Editors, stellastarr* and White Lies.

With a 2nd album well underway, the band is currently planning a UK tour, so make sure to visit them on MySpace for live dates.
