In a chance encounter at an Anthropophobiacs Anonymous meeting in South-West North Korea, Joshua Calligeros, Griffin Farley and Rowan Mount met for the first time. It is said that here they discovered their mutual appreciation of the masterpiece A Very Gregorian Christmas and hence decided to start a joint musical venture (however this is fiercely debated by the South Korean Immigration Dept.). Donning themselves the moniker Sincerely, Grizzly in honour of a young brown bear who took his own life amongst the political unrest of the Arab Spring, they relocated to Adelaide to play a brand of what can only be described as literature rock.

In just two years, the band has been embraced by and rewarded with support slots for international outfit and key musical inspiration …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (US), as well as interstate acts DZ Deathrays and The Paper Scissors, thanks to their ever-convincing live shows.

Since the release of their first single late last year, the double A side ‘21 / Snakes & Ladders’, the band has been featured on triple j unearthed, selected to play the FUSE Festival export-ready showcase as a part of the Fringe Festival and is now poised to make their mark on the Australian music scene. Heading to Perth in late March for a string of dates with local stables Kill Teen Angst and Emperors before returning home to support tours for An Horse and Damn Terran, Sincerely, Grizzly will tour the world, play on Letterman and release a plethora of platinum albums before the world ends on December 21, 2012.

Sincerely,
