Grails is an American instrumental rock band from Portland, Oregon, United States, formed in 1999. Initially going by the name "Laurel Canyon", guitarist Alex Hall, drummer Emil Amos (also in Holy Sons & Om) and second guitarist Paul Spitz garnered positive reactions following their first show, played on a whim. Portland musicians Timothy Horner (violin) and Bill Slater (piano/bass) later joined the group to record their first EP. A comprehensive DVD was released on April 7,'09 called "Acid Rain" summing up their most productive period. In 2010, the band has re-issued three releases, including versions of their first two albums remastered by Carl Saff, as well as a vinyl issue of Black Tar Prophecies Vols. 1, 2, & 3 on Important Records. Also released on Important as a vinyl-only EP was Black Tar Prophecies Vol. 4. Their next planned release is another full-length album called Deep Politics, being released by Temporary Residence Limited on March 8, 2011.
