About Me

Due to sudden illness Kyrbgrinder will not be able to embark on the European tour as scheduled. The band regrets to disappoint the fans and is thankful for their understanding.

Essex University Gig Oct 14 part of UK TOUR... It has to be said the support Kyrb Grinder got on this gig was phenomenal - see the video!!!! Never having ventured into a University audience the reaction was surprisingly encouraging -always having thought of ‘Uni crowds’ as being more indi biased. But Kyrb Grinder seriously rocked the place out with fans storming the stage! The musicianship of this band has to be experienced – catch them now whilst you can on the smaller stages ‘cos they are going places!!!! .. Their debut album Defiance with new single ‘My Heart Bleeds’ is definitely worth adding to your album collection!.. Shez Rockoff Tours

METAL HAMMER ISSUE 171 Sept 07 - Rock Off Festival (Dome, Tufnell Park, Lndon) [...] Kyrbgrinder [8] are bass-heavy with pounding beats and a lead vocalist who's also the drummer - it's such quality stuff, they come back for the second set the following day! ... KYRB GRINDER "You can’t pigeon hole this band. They cross genres of rock with incredible precision. ‘My Heart Bleeds’ their new single from their forthcoming album ‘Defiance’ is ‘catchy’ enough to be commercial without loosing it’s hard hitting rifts, whilst the haunting metallic guitars interwoven with incredible drum renditions in the track ‘Monster’ and the brutal metal edge of ‘Defiance’ make this an album for any heavy rock fan’s collection ‘listen and be impressed".

www.kyrbgrinder.comUPCOMING SHOWS - FlyersMY HEART BLEEDS - VideoJohanne James - is no new comer to the rock scene, having been involved in several high profile bands over the years, the most recent being ‘Threshold’ who have released 14 albums and have recently changed labels from Inside Out to Nuclear Blast. Johanne was voted best drummer of2004/ 2005, 2006/7 and 2007/8 by The Classic Rock Society and as such has earned his place as one of the best drummers in the UK if not the world.Dave Dart - Joined Kyrbgrinder as guitarist beginning of June 2006. He has been an avid Kyrbgrinder fan ever since he heard the band at a UKUNSIGNED Rock event in 2004 where he then took the opportunity to come and see them perform where possible with his dad who is also an avid fan of heavy rock and Kyrbgrinder! Slowly but surely he became a good friend and when the opportunity came to join Kyrbgrinder there was no hesitation and the rest is pretty much history-you will know why he was asked to join Kyrbgrinder - the playing speaks for itself! Whilst respecting the musicality of the band he has most definitely brought his own flavour and creativity to it.Eddie Vendetta – Brought up in Rome, Italy He was introduced to classical music at the age of four. At the age of 15 he discovered drugs, sex and rock & roll and bass guitar and has never looked back! He has played with many bands with different genres from funky, rock, thrash and the harder side of metal. He was playing and touring around the world (US, Europe, Australasia) and recently moved from Australia. He moved to London in December 2006 where he perused Kyrbgrinder!
