When you listen to hardcore band Gridiron, you’ll hear lots of hip-hop and metal influences. This is not uncommon in the hardcore scene in Pennsylvania, where the band originates. After lots of Call of Duty sessions during lockdown, the group of five gets the idea to casually record some music. They like the heavy sound of Pennsylvania hardcore and want to combine it with 90’s rap. Gridiron succeeds without a doubt, because the band has transformed into a group of experienced musicians. Their last album “Poetry from Pain” is rough, well produced, and contains some nu-metal influences. Gridiron’s aesthetic is threatening and their rap lines are convincing. The band focuses on the core of hardcore: to turn everything in life that brings you down into contagious aggression and to conquer a venue or festival stage!
