Artist description Grindwërks is a deceptively simple expression of aural movement using over-the-counter methods and tools. Comprised of one human element and many parts machine, the sonic displays captured is simply the result of this perpetual struggle between these forces.

Artist History As the reluctant frontman and co-founder of the genre-hopping 80's punk band, Liquid Squid and producer of a few forgettable local metal band's studio demos. James Byars had been in the 'scene' both as a player and as a spectator. During one of those brief moments as a 'player' in the recording studio, it was somehow decided a melodic keyboard break would fit into a 'punk anthem' as opposed to the oft overused guitar solo. It was at this moment that the thought that has now manifested as Grindwërks first became. After a few years of simply no time for music, Grindwërks has finally developed into a full-blown 'hobbyist' project.
