The Band
Built on Grit
Grit Cathedral are an international modern hard rock band spanning Slovenia, Croatia and Austria — big hooks, clean power and choruses made for radio and for raised fists in a live room.
The name says everything. Grit — firmness of mind, unyielding courage, and the perseverance it takes to reach long-term goals. A cathedral — a community built to honor the people who live by those traits and use them to make the world better.
"I walked away from music for ten years and told myself I was fine. I wasn't. 'I Pray for Peace' is about the people who keep believing in something the world keeps telling them to give up."
