Michael Gross, vocals and guitar, formed the band in 2008 along with bandmates Jimmy Kelly (guitar, keys), Ben Johnson (bass, keys) and Todd Hammond (drums). That’s what I look for in a record, personally.” Gross’ vocals are a mixture of raspy and pure—a blend that makes for smooth listening. “Aspirations for the Statuettes is to just keep writing and releasing more music,” says Gross. He is hoping to hear feedback from people who have never heard them before or who are outside of the Statuettes’ friend circles.
