Grayscale

Grayscale, an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 2011. The current lineup includes lead vocalist and guitarist Collin Walsh, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Andrew Kyne, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Dallas Molster, and drummer Nick Veno. The band emerged from the vibrant Philadelphia pop-punk scene, steadily building a dedicated fanbase through their dynamic live performances and early releases. Their initial EPs, ‘Leaving’ (2013) and ‘Change’ (2015), established their presence in the underground rock community.

From 2017 to 2023, Grayscale was signed to Fearless Records, a period that marked significant growth and a gradual shift in their musical style. Their debut album with Fearless, ‘Adornment’ (2017), cemented their pop-punk roots while showing hints of their evolving sound. This was followed by ‘Nella Vita’ (2019), which introduced new electronic and pop sensibilities, influenced by artists like Bruno Mars and Prince. The band continued to experiment with their sound on ‘Umbra’ (2021), incorporating more synths and pop elements, which Collin Walsh described as a “most authentic version” of the band. In 2017, they contributed a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” to ‘Punk Goes Pop Vol. 7’.

Recently, Grayscale has transitioned to releasing music independently, beginning with singles in 2023. Their commitment to their craft is evident in their deliberate approach to songwriting and production, culminating in their fourth studio album, ‘The Hart’ (2025). This album aims to synthesize their diverse sonic explorations into a definitive Grayscale sound, focusing on storytelling and authentic self-expression. They have headlined several tours across the US and Europe, including ‘The Nella Vita US Tour Part 1’ (2019) and ‘The Umbra US Tour’ (2021), and are known for engaging with fans through unique initiatives, such as community phone numbers to unveil new music.
