Strongly influenced by Explosions in the sky, Radiohead, Mogwai and Slowdive, Gray Strawberries are a project started in 2006, with their demotape called "Violent skies of May", with post-rock, shoegazer, avant-garde experimental tendences, what nowadays is not a common kind of music in Brazil.
After playing the alternative circuit of São Paulo state, with granted them many compliments, also because of their young age, the band entered studio to record their second album, "A Metropolitan Passionate Idealist", released in July, when also they featured the Amelia..s Magazine, from England, and a compilation by them.
Nowadays, after this release, the band is under a renewing and changing process, to get in the road again.
Sob fortes influências de Explosions in the Sky, Radiohead, Mogwai e Slowdive, a Gray Strawberries é um projeto que teve início em 2006, inpirado em tendências post-rock, shoegaze, experimental de vanguarda. Um trabalho hoje, pouco explorado no Brasil.
Já considerada um dos maiores nomes da sua região, esses jovens de idade entre 17 e 22 anos chamam atenção pela precocidade. Com pouco mais de um ano e meio de banda, e alguns meses após o lançamento da sua demo, Violent Skies of May, já fazem parte do circuito independente da capital paulista, alcançando uma repercussão bastante positiva por onde passam. Seus instrumentais densos, de melodias intermináveis que transitam da serenidade até a mais bruta violência são sempre baseados na inventividade e no novo. O primeiro trabalho deles, Violent Skies of May, composto de 5 longas faixas, e inspirado no tornado que atingiu a cidade de Indaiatuba em maio de 2005, já arrancou elogios de muita gente da cena paulista, além de possibilitar a eles subir a passos largos os degraus da difícil cena post-rock brasileira.
