"But I guess we've never been very big on style.".... ..Playing music together since high school, the members of ..GROUNDED.. are more than just bandmates, they've become great friends.

Some people
believe that everything you do in life affects the world around you. Others
argue that nothing really matters and soon we will all be dead and forgotten.
Perhaps both sides are somewhat right. It is treading stubbornly through a slough
of such contingencies that GROUNDED has found their place.
Their music is crafted with care and frustration to bring solace to the downtrodden
and discomfort to the comfortable.
"Apathy
is just so fashionable these days," says singer Ian Barraza. "But
I guess we've never been very big on style."
Playing music together since high school, the members of GROUNDED are more than just bandmates, they've become great friends. "All-Too-Human," released in 2003 on Surprise Truck Entertainment, is an excellent look into the origin of the band's sound and attitude about the world around. Their continued friendship and concern for humanity has added to the maturity in their songwriting, which is evident in their follow up release, "Revolution Jukebox", available now!
Update - 2008
Grounded ended it's decade long relationship with drummer Mike Folkerts in April of 2008. Lead singer Ian dubbed the action "a business decision."Read Mike's Blog for his version of the story:
