Pat Grant & the Blown Fuses

Pat Grant & the Blown Fuses are a Baltimore based indie rock band fronted by singer/songwriter Pat Grant. The group, which was formerly known as The Hackneyed & Svelte Club, was conceived by Pat Grant as a vehicle for bringing his often intimate songs to bigger and bolder proportions on the stage. The band has a revolving door policy in which various members have drifted into and out of the fold for various musical occasions. The band's members have always consisted of long time friends and collaboraters of Grant's, most of whom enjoy their own notoriety as both solo artists and members of other popular groups within the Baltimore rock scene. Grant has temporarily abandoned work on a concept piece about the emergence of MT6 records and is now working on new material for a 2nd EP for MT6 and the forthcoming Blown Fuses disc. He recently joined up with former Charm City Suicides drummer John Browning and subsequently recorded and produced the The Dawning Fears forthcoming disc Not All Is Lost which will be released by MT6. MT6 records is a Baltimore based indie label that supports some very interesting artists from parts as far away as Russia and provides an outlet for many great local artists as well.
