Persona Grata was formed in November 2006 in Pittsburgh PA, from the three remaining members of the instrumental math rock outfit Evergreen Movement.
These fine gentleman use a mathy, progressive musical style mixed with edgy, aggressive vocals and subtle samples. By utilizing the band’s ability to switch instruments, they create more diversity in the writing process and uniqueness from song to song. This dynamic is used in the studio as well as during live performances.
---Midpoint Music Fest Review---
"Like Fugazi, the members of this trio make intricate, minimally textural Post Punk, delivered not only like they mean it, but as if their life depended on it. With crafty guitar work ranking with the best in the Math Rock field, some low-key but effective electronic decoration and vocals that are commandingly urgent, Persona Grata's music is laser-focused and cerebrally exploratory."
"DIG: Math rock that doesn't require a calculator, Progressive Rock that doesn require a cape."
~MB, Midpoint Music Fest '09
---Pittsburgh City Paper Frienemies Review, By: Aaron Jentzon---
The driving, jagged guitars and odd-time grooves on "Exhibit A" show quite a contrast to the perky plinking on "Exhibit C," which wouldn't be out of place as a music bed for an evening news segment, or an episode of The Outer Limits.

If you have not watched the Persona Grata video you should question your existence. If you did not like the Persona Grata video you should do something about your existence. Enough said.
