About Me

Grotto Fork began when guitarist Hamilton Boyce met drummer Nash Turley. They started playing and writing music after school without really being a band. After nearly four years Grotto Fork recruited Ryan Batie and gave him the task of writing vocal parts to their instrumentals. By the summer of 2005 they were playing regular shows around Seattle and recorded their full length Ungulate.

Currently, while the members are away at college they are doing other things. Ryan is recording under the name Coal Mine Fires and Nash and Hamilton joined up with a bass player to start Song Sparrow Research .

To buy our album, send us a myspace message and let us know if you have a paypal account or not and we'll work it out from there. Thanks! (our website is no longer up..sorry)

You should also check out Pushing Reality 's page for a great remix of Particle.
