About Me


"Grayshot's third album, Waiting Days, is a soothing, richly layered bundle of polished pop rock."
-Michael L. Walsh, CityPages
"An unsigned band that's something special."
-InTune Monthly
"An EP that sounds like another radio-bound Coldplay/Fray-copping U.K. pop-rock act. And I mean that in a good way."
-Chris Riemennschneider, The Star Tribune / Vita.mn

The new EP from Minneapolis’ Grayshot announces the return of their broad, sweeping melodic sound, and this time they’ve taken it to a new level. Brothers Aaron (vocals & guitars) and Christian Ankrum (bass & bgvs) wrote and co-produced WAITING DAYS with drumming duties belonging to Kevin Holvig. To help complete the record, the band employed the skills of producer Stephen Short, whose previous credits include Augustana and Remy Zero.
