We Chat to Grey Daze Ahead of Their Rescue Rooms Show
Tue 19 Mar 2024In the last thirty years, music has evolved enormously. We’ve had massive names like the mighty Slipknot who grew up within that period, Power Trip came, went, and returned – but in that time, there is arguably no band in metal or alternative music who hit the mainstream so well as Linkin Park. However, Linkin Park may never have even come to be without the sadly far less well-known band Grey Daze. Having been formed thirty years ago and going through all manner of problems that no band ever wants to face, including of course losing their former frontman in such tragic fashion, Grey Daze have decided to honour him the best way possible – touring his last work around the world to let fans be reminded one more time of his brilliance, and to let the world know that Grey Daze are still alive and kicking. Ahead of their Nottingham show, and their first ever UK performances, Jake Longhurst chatted to founding guitarist Sean Dowdell and new frontman Cris Hodges about what this tour means to them.
