A Liverpudlian through and through, Chris Grant has always performed straight from his heart. “Chris’s main preoccupation is writing big songs capturing northern innocence,” Alan McGee once commented. “It’s a soulful escapism that eschews the hard man approach to songwriting. As with the best bands I’ve known, I get excited to hear his new songs and his musical progression. When Chris gets it right, his music transcends the apathy of rock’n’roll over the past ten years.” Alan first discovered Chris via MySpace back around 2007 when he was fronting his band The Grants. In due course, the group performed at McGee’s West London club night Death Disco. “Like me, Chris is a round peg in a square hole,” suggests Alan. “I would have signed Chris but I didn’t have a label.” It’s taken half a decade for the planets to align and Chris has now recorded his debut album It’s Not About War, which is due out in October. It’s Not About War is scheduled for release in October, and you can digitally pre-order the lead single “It’s You!” here. [Source]
