Living up to the title of their latest record, Road Warriors, AGAINST THE GRAIN have proven themselves to be true warriors of the road. Blazing through the US with their brand of gear-shifting balls-to-the-wall music that incorporates all things heavy, AGAINST THE GRAIN defies categorization as they seamlessly blur the lines of punk, rock, doom, and thrash.
With the release of their first self-titled full-length in 2009, AGAINST THE GRAIN was an immediate hit, garnering an intensive local fanbase playing fifty shows throughout Michigan. With their penetrating live show and energized fanbase they were introduced to touring life by Hellmouth and The Meatmen, and began their transformation into a fully-functioning road act. The boys in AGAINST THE GRAIN have yet to look back.
After seventy-five dates in 2011, AGAINST THE GRAIN followed up with 2012’s Motor City Speed Rock and one-hundred-fifty more dates in support. Their efforts caught the attention of Self-Destructo Records, who in 2013 released their third full-length, Surrounded By Snakes to such acclaim that they re-leased Motor City Speed Rock on 10″ as well. Maintaining a DIY tour ethic, AGAINST THE GRAIN built a national fanbase with their bare hands, quenching the thirst for fast and heavy rock ‘n’ roll throughout the land. With over six hundred dates and counting since hitting the road in 2011,AGAINST THE GRAIN has also toured alongside an impressive assemblage of notable acts including Nashville Pussy, Valient Thorr, Bongzilla, Atomic Bitchwax, Mos Generator Church of Misery, The Meatmen, Zoroaster, The Hookers, Lo-Pan and many more. AGAINST THE GRAIN‘s fourth full-length, Road Warriors, is out now on Self-Destructo Records.
