Miles Grindey Guitarist
I am talking to Miles about guitar playing, recording and his collection of Tokai guitars.
Miles Grindey was born and raised in Warsash, a small village in South Hampshire, UK. In 2016 he joined The Bones And Arrows where the band recorded the Bones and Arrows EP, writing solos for “Slow Light” and writing the chorus riff and solo for “Muddy Sunshine“. Later that year, he left the band and pursued a solo career and over the course of 2017 he wrote, recorded, produced and composed his debut album, Caught in a Storm, released in 2018. The album features tracks such as a cover of Joy Division‘s hit “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and fan favourites such as “Caught in the Act“, “Staring Competition and “It Gets Better“. Miles also wrote, composed and produced “Ethereal Bollocks” which was released on May 4th 2018.
Miles went to Atlanta, and during his time met vocalist Ian Michael Bruh (Bumpin’ The Mango, Backroad To Brooklyn), drummer Wayne Viar and was put in touch with bassist Enrico Galetta (based in Bolonga, Italy). Working on “Make Up Your Mind” and “Stride” , Make Up Your Mind was released a little while after Miles’ return to the UK on May 31st 2019.
