This is a story about Passion. Passion for pushing boundaries of traditional rock music. Formed in the heart of Tel Aviv, Off Grid is a formation of 5 very eclectic band members from very different backgrounds, but all sharing a taste for sound that transcends genres and captivates audiences worldwide.
With each composition, Off Grid embarks on a sonic journey that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. They do it through blending complex melodies, thought provoking lyrics that come from the gut of their personal experiences and by intricate rhythms.
It all bring you to a powerhouse act which is the musical culmination of the most influential genres of the past four decades in Rock music; From the heavy blues of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, through the progressive sophistication of Rush and Dream Theater, to the pure energy of Seattle Grunge (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) and Melodic Punk (Nirvana and Blink 182), Off Grid managed to concoct a well balanced brew that blends together their extremely wide range of stylistic influences in a precise manner while maintaining their musical integrity as is evident through their musical mastery each on his own instrument.
The end result is a fresh, captivating and modern take on heavy rock presented through 12 well crafted gems.
Be it the power Ballads, the progressive wave of the ‘70s and ‘90s or just solid good old Rock and Roll, Off Grid mastered them all while incorporating soaring vocals (May Shemtov), shredding guitars (Alon”Tewl” Tamir, Funky bass lines (Netanel Landau), flashy drum patterns (Nadav Dotan) and luscious layers of Synths (Itay Keren) into the mix.
The opening shot is a beautiful and touching Ballad written by the drummer’s girlfriend as a personal love gesture for him.
A second single was released on Sept’ 12th. It showcased a different aspect of the band and will follow by the full album release towards the end of the year with a live show to support the release of the debut “The Reign of the Architect”
