Style
The Gritty End is a psychobilly, horror-punk, influenced ska band from Southern California. Bands from Voodoo Glowskulls to the old Meantraitors, to modern skacore bands like Sektcore and La Resistencia with a touch of Krewmen and The Ricochets have heavily influenced the writing process. With the love for both Ska and Psychobilly, The Gritty End wanted to show the world they would like to have both.

History
Starting in 2008 as Consiencia Negra, they had decided to change their name to The Gritty End due to complications in search engines and difficulty spelling issues. Started with an idea from original Trombone player Geo Asked fellow high school friend Kristi (now Drummer) if she wanted start a band. Kristi then asked her husband Kim(now UPRIGHT BASSIST/VOX) if he would like to join and decided to want to play bass. Scrounging up another fellow friend Michael to be on guitar, writing process started to begin. Skacore was the idea in the beginning for the band to pursue, but later down the road Kim wanted to do something truly different and wanted to combine Psychobilly and Ska together with a more aggressive and horror sound. Geo Went to find more recruits for horn players, finding lil Martin among friends to play trumpet, another classmate of Geo from high school Andres(AKA Bobby and now Alto Sax Player) started out with trombone,then meeting The Buckets(a couple) joined as tenor sax players, recruiting Josh(now trumpet) from Molestia 415 to play trumpet. Massive member line up didnt last long throughout the years with members leaving and joining, but in 2019 containing 70% original members plus a couple new permanent members The Gritty End is faster and louder than ever.
