"A new take on classic rock”, was how the Santa Clarita, California newspaper “The Signal” described The McGrath Project's music with the release of the band's self-titled debut CD in 2009. Off this album, the band had two top ten internet radio hits on www.iradiola.com and www.underworldmusicradio.com with "The Chance" (#10) and "Where You Belong" (#1).In 2010, the band released its second album, a two volume set called “Love is a 4-letter Word, Volume 1 & 2”. The album has to date spawned several indie hits, garnering enough internet downloads and radio requests to reach Gold Record status in the U.K. The first single; "Your Secret is Out", also cracked the Billboard Top 200 airplay chart in the U.S., and reached #3 on the ACQB chart.The band has been performing tirelessly at such notable Los Angeles establishments as The House of Blues Voodoo Lounge on the Sunset Strip, The Cat Club, The Roxy Theatre, Rusty’s Surf Ranch, The Whisky-A-Go-Go (opening for Manny Charlton, formerly of Nazareth), a residency at Lucy's 51 in Toluca Lake, as well as performances in several cities during The International Pop Overthrow festival, including Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix. In 2011 and 2012, the band is also hitting the road as the opening act for The Manny Charlton Band as well as Spin Doctors.You can currently hear the band's music on numerous commercial radio stations across the continental United States and Canada, with the release of two singles off the double CD, “Love is a 4-Letter Word Volume 1 & 2”. The punk-influenced, in-your-face energy of “Your Secret Is Out” and the country-esque, slyly humorous female anthem “Piss Me Off” show a sample of just how many different styles this band incorporates into their sound. This is not your average band where the members have grown up together and listened to the same records through the years. The McGrath Project is a group of musicians, all respected in their own right, drawing from experiences gathered from living and breathing music, touring the globe, and now coming together to create music that couldn't possibly be categorized or pigeon-holed. Catchy, yet innovative, simple, yet experimental, comic, sinister, heartfelt, perceptive, rock'n'roll, punk, blues, psychedelic, country, jazz...you will hear it all in one listen to "Love is a 4-Letter Word".In the summer of 2012, The McGrath Project has been working tirelessly on their latest effort; their upcoming album titled "Boom". Keep an ear out for the first single "Tarantino Girl", hitting radio nationwide in the spring!
