About Grayscale
Grayscale, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have carved out a significant niche in the alternative rock scene since their formation in 2011. Comprising Collin Patrick McGinley (lead guitar), Andrew Kyne (rhythm guitar), Nick Veno (drums), and Dallas Molster (bass), with Patrick Miranda fronting the band with his distinctive vocals, they’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of pop-punk and emo-tinged alternative rock. Their sound is characterised by raw emotion, catchy melodies, and a lyrical depth that resonates deeply with their devoted fanbase.
Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, Adornment, in 2017, featuring fan favourites like “Painkiller Weather” and “Atlantic.” This record showcased their ability to blend heartfelt introspection with powerful, anthemic choruses. They continued to evolve with 2019’s Nella Vita, an album that explored a broader sonic palette, incorporating more pop and R&B influences while retaining their signature angst and sincerity. Tracks such as “Baby Blue” and “Old Friends” became instant staples.
Their latest full-length effort, Umbra (2021), further demonstrated their versatility, delving into darker, more experimental territories while still delivering the energetic performances their fans adore. Grayscale’s live shows are known for their intensity and connection with the audience, turning every venue into a vibrant, communal experience. With a discography rich in hits and a reputation for captivating performances, Grayscale continue to be a formidable force in alternative music.
