Search - Grand Unified Theory :: Grand Unified Theory

An infant-care nurse, a soon-to-be PhD student at MIT, and an unemployed kid with a versed intellect in cognitive science and anthropology are not the first things to come to mind when people think of rock musicians. Nonetheless, these are the members that comprise Grand Unified Theory, a three-piece group hailing from Berkeley, CA. Undetected Plagiarism Records is proud to announce the release of their self-titled debut CD. Jerry Chen, Diego Montero, and Julie Macon have created an honest record that pours their non-musical interests into songs that are immediate, yet strangely cinematic. Their 10-song CD was recorded in their little apartment in Berkeley, mixed by Aaron Prellwitz (Death Cab For Cutie, Erase Errata, Red House Painters, Hella) at Tiny Telephone Studios in SF, CA and mastered by Doug Van Sloun (Bright Eyes, Cursive, The Faint, Rilo Kiley) at Studio B in Omaha, NE. With lyrical material ranging from the futility of originality, the meaning of success, mob mentality, the curse of art, and the trappings of corporate culture, it is clear that this group has a lot to offer musically, and otherwise. We hope you listeners will enjoy it.
