Harvey King & The Grindstone began as a passion project of vocalist Will Himsl and guitarist Sam King. Recognizing the opportunity to fuse soul and rock and roll, this duo recruited local artists, with Alex Pauzé on drums, Matt Saroka on lead guitar, Sean Brouse on bass, Kris Harris on keys, Andrea Solski and Darquise Lauzon on backup vocals. The group began crafting the songs for what would become the EP and the upcoming LP.
Fast forward to 2021, and this eight-piece band has released its first EP – Bigtime on July 30, 2021. The four-song EP offers a glimpse into the energy and diversity of the band’s stylings and previews their full-length album. HKGS’s highly anticipated full-length album is being tracked at Deadpan Studios in Sudbury, ON. The band is currently putting the final touches on the album and is slated for release in early 2022.
