Born from the ashes of broken bands and midnight jams, Grantura are a vocal harmony driven anglo-americana band with a liking for mandolins, south east London and singing.
Grantura have been making steady progress on the UK music scene. Their debut single Waves became single of the week on BBC 6Music’s breakfast show. They did a session for BBC Radio 2’s Janice Long show in February.
They are signed to Ruffa Lane record and a second single will be released in June, followed by the album, In Dreams and Other Stories, in July.
Here’s what some people have said about them:
Grantura featured in The Guardian’s prestigious “Bands to make it big in 2008”. “I’ve got a soft spot for Grantura, a harmony driven country pop band from London,” said Nick Tesco of Music Week.
Organ Zine Live Review:
“Borderline, London, 12th Feb 08: Grantura sound new-minted, as if from the fresh first years of classic American bands like the country side of The Byrds, The Band and such – you can almost smell the grass and the sunshine in the February gloom of London (can’t wait to see them again in a summer festival field). Simple songs classically, cleverly put together, then played utterly from the heart – beautiful harmonies and gentle waves washing over – Waves itself (the recent single) is a highlight. Think of that glorious Coen Brothers film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the Soggy Bottom Boys endearing themselves to all who hear…
