Bio

Started in May of 2008, Orphan Grinder is the vision of Riley Eichler and Aaron Wallis come to fruition. Sick of a stagnation in new music clogging the airwaves they wanted to create a diverse and powerful sound. The idea behind Orphan Grinder's performance is a do-it-yourself attitude, minimalistic stage set up accompanied by big sound and lights. The use of driving guitar, distorted synths, abrasive vocals and two drummers, gives them a unique sound that sticks out at each and every performance.

Now after 2 years working with Promonium Jesters and Adaptive Reaction OG welcomes their vocalists/drummers Myke Adaptiv and Ethan Moseley to the Orphan Grinder family. With their crushing drums and percussive trashcan madness, they have really made Orphan Grinder sound the way it should... Heavy.

They have shared the stage with such acts as: Adaptive Reaction, Promonium Jesters, Chemlab, Cyanotic, 16 volt, MDM, and Johnny Hollow just to name a few. They have played all over Southern Ontario, New Brunswick  PEI and Nova Scotia. Their most recent tour with Adaptive reaction was their second time out east, but definately not the last! 

In 2009 they independently released a 5 track EP entitled Jesus Christ Inc. (which is now available for free to download on reverbnation),in May of 2010 "I4NI" another independent 5 track EP was released and has already seen some radio play on the Reputation Radio Show (it is also streaming for free on reverbnation). On June 9th 2010 Orphan Grinder was voted for and won the "Most Popular Electronic Group" category at the London Music Awards and have been nominated a second time for the 2011 awards in the same category.
