A modern heavy rock sound to make the tectonic plates collide and give birth to the
most majestic summits. Channeling their inner rage and bringing grit and groove
back to the Rock scene, these 4 guys let their band name speak for them : The Ground
Shaker. That’s it!
Chiseling their style, the band is revitalizing the genre, sticking to their roots, and
playing with a fearless conviction that is lacking in many of today’s bands. The combo
is led by Giro Reign (guitar, vocals) and Dav Elgin (guitar): Giro mixes his raspy voice
and sharp riffs with bluesy solos, creating a heavy and yet tasteful music. The Ground
Shaker definitely bears the US footprint, that Giro has acquired in California, and
embellishes it with harmonies and effective rhythms conferred by Dav’s guitar. Vortex
Ram's distorted bass complements the perfect chemistry of the band by supporting
Smash's strike and present drums, thus making the rhythm section a locomotive
of these hairy compositions.
“Giro brought a purely metal universe to the beginning, but today we have evolved
towards a more rock and melodic style”, says Dav. The basic influences are still
present, but the production of guitars, more oriented towards effective melodies,
breaks the lines and takes us to the borders of the American West, like driving
Mustang, so fast.
“There is a great cohesion between the members of the band, and even more so since
the arrival of the drummer and the bass player”, admits Giro. “We like to meet our
audience and have real exchanges”.
Watching the band performing live gives you this irresistible urge to "head bang”. Giro
has this innate trick to attract the favor of the public, while Dav and Vortex delight the
crowd by swaying back to front in time.
