GreyMarket

“These guys could give album-oriented rock a good name. GreyMarket’s sound is too brash for alternative, too clever for arena rock. It's the sound most bands burden with overwrought and clichéd sentiments, but GreyMarket's smarts and sense of humor save them from such a fate. Big guitars, big drums, big synthesizers, sky-scraping vocals—and it sounds great in the car cranked up loud.”

“Next came GreyMarket, an alt-prog duo who caught my attention with an eye-popping set at Tropical Heatwave. Since then, they've opened for the Hold Steady, Peter Murphy, Black Moth Super Rainbow and now the Fiery Furnaces.

“There's a reason these guys keep getting these gigs: They're like ready-made rock stars. They look the part, they're technically brilliant, they're full of energy onstage, and they even come with their own custom light show. The bands GreyMarket most reminds me of are Muse, Mute Math and the Killers.

“GreyMarket is only two dudes, singer-guitarist Cave McCoy and drummer-laptopper Mike Gargiulo, but they get the most out of their limited membership. McCoy stomps and staggers, wails and flails all over the stage (and even into the crowd) while Gargiulo monitors all the other music and propels things forward on a steady, pounding path.

Swathed in a homemade hurricane of blue, pink, green and gold lights, the band's music and energy is massive. Even in a small club like the Orpheum or New World Brewery, they come across like a band that could step right in and play a festival—which must be why all these national artists keep asking them to open their shows. They are prompt, professional and punishing.”

Tampa laptop rockers GreyMarket have spent the past two years mashing computer geekery, synthy glam goodness and drum/guitar gruffness to create one of the more fascinating dance-floor sounds in the area. The duo's new full-length, Some Orbits Will Never Decay, features propulsive, high-gloss rock numbers like ‘Hey Mr. Spaceman,’ which really should be an Ybor City staple by this point.”
