History

Formed in early Fall 2005, Grey Dealer brings a fresh approach to the Northeast Ohio original metal scene by fusing political themes with a progressive metal edge. Created by guitarist Jim Putnam and vocalist/drummer Tim Harrigan (formerly of four foot francis) , the band takes an active approach in illuminating social injustice while assaulting your brain with screaming riffs, pounding rhythms and penetrating vocal harmonies.
The duo searched for a high-caliber bassist to round-out their demanding rhythm section. That's when Pat (P.Jay) Lane jumped into the fray. Lane's explosive bass playing forges a rarefied progressive binding that sends Grey Dealer's sound over the top.
Adding dynamics to the lyrics is Chuck Shaffer who offers an array of vocal textures. Grey Dealer lands dynamic rhythms and puts a soulful feel over a rock solid foundation. Putnam loads the sound with masterful guitar riffs and extreme textures. Together they deliver an intense message over a high-octane sound that is Grey Dealer.
