GRUDGE

The heavy metal four piece known as Grudge formed in Billings, MT, in 1996, looking at music as a means of escaping their dismal upbringings. Composed of G. (vocals), Rich (guitar), Marco (drums), and Brian (bass), each band member had been jamming and playing in various bands since their teens. They played gigs in and around area bars, and five years later Grudge was still pounding the pavement. Forgiveness marked the band's debut in early 2001.
