This band has a great sound and range of vocals which is a nice touch today’s rock scene.  The guitars are rhythmic with the harmony of drums pounding.  This combination leads to a strong headbanging action.  Lyrically, the band is above many others in their genre.  They are reminiscent of the 80’s rock scene with harmonizing vocals and music with no growling, but true talent.  There is a marrying of past and present music that will have everyone having a favorite song like "(I Don't Need) Perfection", "Consequences of Having a Heart" and the title track "Grit Your Teeth".  This band is definitely worth taking a listing to and I am sure your will be adding them to your playlist.
