Myspace Layouts + Myspace Graphics
Get my banner code or create a flash bannerGrainshifter is a band based out of Chicago that combines electronic atmospheres and beats with guitars and bass to form a style that we like to call "guitartronica". We try and push the limits of conventional music and use a variety of sound design and unique production techniques to create music that is both innovative, as well as raw and full of emotion. We draw from the many different musical influences we all have, and we use them to create something that is fresh and forward thinking. Rather than being limited to a given musical genre, we tend to experiment with many different stylings. We highly value experimentation, as it is the key to our sound. As we continue to grow as a band, we are actively looking for a label that will help us get our music our there. We are finishing up a demo and will gladly give them out upon request. Time for the shift.I made this myspace background at BackgroundStation.com
