Grayscale has evolved from a Philadelphia pop-punk band into an alternative rock group known for their distinctive blend of melodic rock and synth-driven sound. After establishing themselves in 2011 and releasing early EPs ‘Leaving’ in 2013 and ‘Change’ in 2015, Grayscale, comprised of lead vocalist and guitarist Collin Walsh, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Andrew Kyne, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Dallas Molster, and drummer Nick Veno, steadily built a dedicated fanbase. This period culminated in their signing with Fearless Records in 2017, leading to the release of their debut album ‘Adornment’ that same year. ‘Adornment’ cemented the band’s pop-punk roots while hinting at their evolving sound.
Also in 2017, Grayscale contributed a cover of Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’ to the compilation ‘Punk Goes Pop Vol. 7’. The band continued their growth with Fearless Records, releasing their second album ‘Nella Vita’ in 2019. This album marked a significant stylistic shift, introducing new electronic and pop sensibilities, influenced by artists such as Bruno Mars and Prince.
The upcoming release of ‘The Hart’ in 2025 promises to synthesize Grayscale’s diverse sonic explorations into a definitive sound, with a strong focus on storytelling. To support the album, the band will be joining Mayday Parade on their 20th Anniversary Tour in 2025, further expanding their reach and connection with audiences. Grayscale consistently demonstrates their evolution from a pop-punk foundation into a distinctive alternative rock group known for their melodic rock and synth-driven sound, maintaining a strong trajectory in the contemporary rock scene.
