MOSTLY, WE SOUND LIKE NORTH OF GRAND...BUT - SOME PEOPLE SAY WE SOUND LIKE A MIX OF GREEN DAY, WEEZER, HOUSE OF LARGE SIZES, THE RAMONES, FU MANCHU, AND THAT ONE BAND THAT EVERYONE LIKES.
In 2009, Iowa based power trio North of Grand is celebrating their sixth year as a band. NOG released their fourth album, Setbacks Are Scheduled For Tomorrow, in April of 2008. The eight songs, which clock in at just over 23 minutes, were recorded and mixed with John Svec at Minstrel Studios in Iowa City and mastered by Doug Van Sloun at Studio B in Omaha.
From front to back, Setbacks displays North of Grand's knack for writing catchy, guitar-driven rock n roll, littered with memorable hooks and powerful lyrics. The album is certain to further boost the band's growing popularity across the Midwestern U.S. In January of this year (2009), listeners to KCCQ Radio, 105.1 FM in Des Moines/Ames, chose North of Grand as the "Best Local Band." Hundreds of people voted for North of Grand ahead of major label acts like Slipknot and The Envy Corps.
North of Grand formed in March 2003. The original and current line-up is Sean Wilson (vocals, guitar), Dan Ketelsen (bass, backing vocals) and Pat Curtis (drums, backing vocals). Since their first gig in April of 2003, North of Grand has played more than 200 shows in nearly 20 states.
The name "North of Grand" comes from the area in Des Moines (just north of Grand Avenue) where the band chooses to drink and live.
