They have played with artist such as JANUS, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, HALESTORM, ADELITAS WAY, TAKING DAWN, 3 DOORS DOWN, SEETHER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, HINDER, SKILLET, RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS, DEFAULT, SOUL ASYLUM, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, TED NUGENT, TESLA ans many more!! Gravel Switch is a 5 piece band hailing from Jamestown, KY. The band was formed in 2004 by former front man Matt Moore, and current guitarist Josh Pierce along with Brandon Brockman on drums and Matt Hammer on bass. In 2007, drummer Brockman & bassist Hammer were replaced with bassist David Chapman and new drummer Jason Jones. Gravel Switch continue forward competing in local and district competitions and touring the club scene and recording their first CD, What You Make Of Me. In 2009, drummer Jason Jones bowed out from the project for personal reasons, So in March of 2009, Gravel Switch was given the name of a nearby drummer named Charlie Payne who auditioned for the band and made the cut. In late March of 2009, they traveled to Georgia to record new single Movin’ On. August of 2009 seen more changes to the lineup as singer Matt Moore stepped down from the group. A phone call was made to a close friend of the band who just happened to be a red hot singer named Seth Wade. Seth & Josh had performed several acoustic shows together in a project named “60 Cycle Hum” and Seth seemed to fit the style Gravel Switch was looking for. After 4 good practices, Seth was ready and Gravel Switch was ready to hit the scene strong and hard again. In October, they returned to Pendlwood Studios in Atlanta to finish up the new No Regrets EP. Almost 1 year later their Drummer moved to chicago and was replaced by the current drummer now, Johnny Hodge and then David Chapman parted ways and Matt Moore(former lead singer) replaced him and is now playing Bass. In 2011 Gravel Switch released their full length album No Regrets. Newest member as of 2012 is our second guitarist Jordan Pierce. The newest album Face The Day is set to release on December 17th, 2012 and is poised to be the BEST Gravel Switch album yet!!! GS is a band that has endured the hardships that most bands endure and still rockin the scene hard and putting on the ultimate stage show!
