Artist description Nu-metal band from a small town in Indiana. I'm sure that's the genre we'd be lumped into.

Music Style Alternative Metal

Musical Influences Deftones, Metallica, Pantera, Fear Factory, Silverchair, 311, Nirvana, Mudvayne (not really an influence, but they inspired Mike to pick up his bass more often), Incubus, Megadeth, etc... There are many wonderful bands who influenced us. (not all bands apply to every member, which is a good thing in its own way)

Similar Artists No one really, but if we had to compare: Deftones.

Artist History Two members of Exoskeleton, Keith and George (I know the name is lame, hey it was 1994), and three members of Noise Pollution, Joseph, Mike and Lawrence(used to play drums for Noise Pollution), came together to form Granite. We've been playing as a band since I believe 1995 or 1996. Joseph Jude used to be the second guitar player in the band and he, unfortunately, had to move to Ohio. He will always be a member of Granite in spirit, whether he's playing or not and he always has a spot if he would return to Indiana.

Group Members Lawrence McCormack(Vocals, King of the "Blatant"(don't ask), Growls), Keith Flick(Guitars, Vocals, Caterwauls) George Chittum(Drums, Voice of Reason), Mike Thompson(Bass, Beer Master)

Press Reviews None as of yet. Our local newspaper doesn't care about the city's music scene (yes there is one).

Location Kokomo, IN - USA
