Ocean Grid (2013)


Ocean Grid
Ocean Grid are a post-hardcore, metalcore band formed in January 2013 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It's been fairly difficult for me to find information on these guys, and believe me, I have tried. In fact, I spoke to one of their vocalists, Andrew Isler to clear things up, but then right before I wrote this review, somehow all the messages were deleted! *sigh*
So, I apologize in advance if I missed any info out.

The band consists of:
Andrew Isler - Vocals
Dustin Kidwell - Vocals
Brad Kaufman - Guitar
Danny Daugherty - Guitar
Greg Gonzales(or Donald Allen on here) - Bass
Zak Nova - Drums


So far, they have an EP called Ambitions;
1. "Intro" - 1:45
2. "Resilience" - 3:29
3. "Ambitions" - 3:15
4. "Run from the Vices" - 3:43
5. "Second Chances" - 3:52
6. "A Life Worth Living" - 4:31

and they have two singles;

1. "Words to Live By" - 3:24
2. "Mind Over Monsters" - 3:55

which were both officially released in September 2014.

Now, onto the actual review! Personally, I enjoy listening to Ocean Grid. Alongside sounding great, their music also sends great messages and not only that, from what I can tell their band members are very friendly. Their most recent song, Mind Over Monsters, is definitely my favourite. On their Facebook page, they actually posted it in honour of Suicide Awareness Day, which I think is an amazing thing to do. They've so far been very successful, especially considering they aren't even two years old yet.
Just check them out on YouTube or on ReverbNation and see what you think of them.

I don't really have much else to say, but give 'em a go and see what you think.
Tell me what you think! Who do you think we should do a band review on next?

P.S. Really sorry about how long this one took. I meant to do it over a month ago :(
