Biography
Balsam Grove's long-awaited debut album, You're Safe Here, is a powerful testament to their unwavering dedication and resilience. Founded by lead vocalist/guitarist Larry Lee Hansen and bassist Michael Ermis, this progressive post-hardcore band conquered lineup changes, unscrupulous promoters, and even a global pandemic.
Their 2018 demo EP, Echoes of the Past, made waves in the South Texas music scene, earning them local press coverage and radio exposure. Following their split with drummer Bryan Renkes and guitarist Logan Wood, Balsam Grove welcomed Michigan guitarist Jim Tobakos into their ranks, adding a new dynamic to their sound. The result is an intensely energetic, technically-nuanced album that dives deep into themes of social isolation, nostalgia, depression, and new beginnings.
With their self-produced effort set to release on 1/31 via Just Noise Music, Balsam Grove invites you to headbang and embrace the chills that their music delivers.
