The sentiments, the chord changes, the primal simplicity and the general outlook of both genres come from the same wellspring, at least according to Bizzy Gruntry lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Tom Richmond and drummer Flash Kellish. Richmond and Kellish met last year at the Union Street Brick Church open mic in Bangor. Richmond, an Army veteran who after his service had returned to his hometown, decided to bite the bullet and play his songs at an open mic.

— Steve Peer, Rolling Stoned

"Grunge AND Country? This new band from the unlikely town of Bangor, MaIne is sure to melt some faces with this new genre of music! You don't want to miss these guys!"

— Ben Maxon, Far Out Magazine
