Gig review: Grey Daze at Rescue Rooms

Despite existing for 30 years, Grey Daze only recently played their second-ever show in the UK. Nottingham's Rescue Rooms had the honour of hosting the band, and we headed down to experience it...

Grey Daze

We Chat to Grey Daze Ahead of Their Rescue Rooms Show

In 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.

Brooklyn's Savak discuss touring with Grey Hairs, listening to Sleaford Mods and more...

Forming in 2015 and featuring members who have performed with the likes of Obits, Edsel, Nation of Ulysses and Holy Fuck, it is fair to say that Savak's punk-rock credentials are undeniable. Sohrab from the band took time out of a busy 5-date co-headline tour around the UK with Nottingham's Grey Hairs to answer some of our questions. Both bands along with Slumb Party roll-up at The Maze this Friday...

Grey Hairs Answer Questions in Photos

Following up their debut album, Colossal Downer, with another cathartic serving of mid-thirties frustration expressed through the medium of howling vocals and loud, fuzzed-out guitars, Grey Hairs’ sophomore LP is Serious Business. With a punk rawness that wholly translates from stage to recording, one listen and we were sold. We asked them to put down their respective instruments and answer our incredibly deep and meaningful questions with their camera devices. Like the album, the results don’t disappoint.

Interview: Grey Hairs

Featuring Amy (live bass), Bod (recorded bass), Chris (guitars), Dave (drums) and James (vocals), the members of Grey Hairs all play in other Nottingham bands including Fonda 500, Fists, Kogumaza and Bus Stop Madonnas. Initially formed partly to scratch an itch that their other bands just weren’t reaching, and partly as an excuse to pop to the pub.
