The Granite Shore is a musical collective, a collaborative project with no rigid structure, form or membership that will remain fluid in its constitution.
Though artistically and creatively hailed, the unique, exquisite sound has hitherto gone unreleased, but now it is finally being brought to a wider audience through Occultation Records.
The Granite Shore has existed for many years in its varying form. As each tide brings a different wave to the shore, each meeting of the Granite Shore brings with it a different rhythm, different influences and a different beauty
In harmony with the values and ethos of the Occultation record label The Granite Shore is experimental and seeks to represent quality musicianship, songwriting and lyrical eloquence, contrasting sharply with today’s mass-produced music.
The Granite Shore is proud to bring its first release Tomorrow morning, 3 a.m./Workhouse to a wider audience.
Website unpopular-culture.com has been the first to review the inaugural release describing it thus;
‘[Doomed romantics] There’s something of that in The Granite Shore… it’s a doomed romance that swells with a brittle strength and quiet pride.
And indeed, the more I listen to ‘Tomorrow morning, 3 a.m.’ the more convinced I am by its breathtaking scope and ambition’.

The Historical Romance is a bit of an odyssey that takes in Jackie Cain & Roy Kral, Billy Vera & Judy Clay, Red Krayola & Clinic, Johnny Thunders & Patti Palladin, Freda Payne & Pennies From Heaven, plus much, much more ...
