Kevin Gregory (Revoking Grey Bio) :
Revoking Grey blends emotionally charged lyrics, highly technical modern acoustic guitar, and passion from roots in the hardcore music scene. Two-hand tapping, body percussion, and slap techniques form a foundation for melodies with melancholic depth while honest words explore emotional pain. Hardcore, emo, and pop-punk influences are brought together within the medium of fingerstyle guitar, allowing intensity to cut through.
