2) Graystar was formed in 1999 by then 11-year-old Dylan Wilcox. Almost a decade later, the band’s original pop-punk sound has evolved tremendously into what Wilcox calls “scene-rock.” “I write music I want to listen to, you know?” says Wilcox in a recent interview, “We try to stay away from any stereotypes, and to find our own sound.” The band, who has recently signed a two-album contract with Urban Disaster Records, and just released their full length debut “Between Dreams and Waking,” has done just that. The band mixes influences from all over, from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Get Up Kids, all the way to 18 Visions and Thursday. The band has shared stages with Taking Back Sunday, The Movielife, Aiden, Emanuel, From Autumn to Ashes, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Chiodos, and many others, as well as playing at MTV Parkfest, Vans Warped Tour, The Bamboozle, and the Skate and Surf Festival. The band has gone through several lineup changes, however have settled on their current 3 piece setup (Dylan Wilcox, Chris Lofton, James Moreland) after Casey Gandham, originally replacing current LoveHateHero guitarist Kevin Gruft, left the band. The band practices in Albany, New York at Wilcox’s home, though they can be frequently be found playing shows in the Manhattan area in New York.
