Gritch is a four piece indie/rock/electronic band featuring catchy vocal melodies and love sick lyrics that blend into pop-sensible, hook-filled music with well placed electronic elements that push the envelope and demands the listener's attention. The lineup consists of Christian Atencio on acoustic guitar and vocals, Sean Payton on electronics and bass, Terrance White on lead guitar and Charlie Zender on synthesizer.
Gritch began in the spring of 2006 when Atencio approached Payton for help on a few song ideas he had written. The result was a collaboration that blossomed into two songs, including the undeniably infectious "Sunday Morning Train". Upon completion of these tracks, it was clear that Gritch possessed a great deal of potential with endless possibilities for the band waiting over the horizon. As the band continued to add more tracks to their lineup, they recruited White and Zender who added elements of sophistication that powerfully captures the band progressing towards greater musical landscapes.
In August 2008, Gritch released its first full length album, entitled "the world was asleep..." A successful college radio campaign followed the release that saw seven of the album's thirteen songs receive airplay across 200 stations, as well as high praise from industry insiders. The band has also licensed music from the "the world was asleep..." to multiple US cable television shows including MTV's The Real World, and Road Rules for use in 2009.
On April 28, 2009, the band issued its 2nd release entitled “Sunday Morning Train EP”. The EP features 4 new songs and 4 tracks with new takes on songs found on the band's 2008 LP "the world was asleep…” The band is playing shows throughout their native Colorado and writing songs for other future releases.
