Combining years of playing experience and influences, all four members, Garrett Robinson (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Shane McHugh (Keys, Backing Vocals) Matt Rowe (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Shane Mayo (Drums) met in Los Angeles to craft their own style of rock music. Those influences range from the 60’s to the 90’s including The Clash, The Ramones, James Jamerson, The Who, Muscle Shoals, Steely Dan, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Harry Nilsson, The Kinks, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Biffy Clyro and Beck. GLR blends high-energy sing along melodies with intimately revealing lyrics and driving beats to emerge with their own distinctive sound. They often are compared to Jet, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, Bad Religion and the Foos. Since Garrett Lee Robinson formed in 2012 they have been winning over crowds with their high energy live show supporting national acts such as X, Strung Out, Face to Face, The Gin Blossoms, Everlast, Sponge, OPM, Big B, The Blasters and more. In 2014 they released their debut full length album “Future Classics” (MNO records) while also recording a batch of unreleased songs with producer Jeff Sayhoun (Let Live) further forming their current sound. In 2015 they signed a new record deal with Pacific Records and earned a spot on the KABOO Music Festival with The Killers, Zach Brown Band, No Doubt and many other amazing headliners.
