The band, formed in 2008 in Houston's Buffalo Bayou, is primarily inspired by the talents of Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Social Distortion, and Jawbreaker. In 2010, their first album, How Fast They Fade (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon) was released. 2011 brought Grizzly their first live recorded album, Drunk and Loud: Live at Rudyards (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon) which captured the high octane live energy that they have become known for. Victory (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon) was released in January 2013 further strengthening their following.
In 2014, Altercation Records, Inc., a long-running punk label based jointly in Austin and New York CIty, announced the signing of Houstons outlaw country-rock 5-piece The Grizzly Band.
My good friend and amazing Houston musician Jason Bancroft turned me on to Grizzly last summer, explained Altercation co-owner JT Habersaat. They played our annual Mid-Summer Night Scream festival and I was instantly interested. They have great energy and are true Texas.
The band, who combine searing riffs, lap steel guitar harmonies and the gruff, working-class vocals of leader Chad Grizzly, have long been a fixture of the Houston scene. Often drawing comparisons to the likes of Lucero, Johnny Cash and Chuck Ragan, the band has recently shared the stage with such contemporaries as Zeke, Old Man Markley and Riverboat Gamblers.
The Grizzly Band has had the honor of sharing their Southern Whiskey Punk as part of the Rocklahoma music festival, NYs Rats Nest Run In and Buffalo Chip at Sturgis.
The bands album 'Lost & Found' was released in 2014 and are currently working on their next album.
