Biography (From Facebook page)

The Men In Gray Suits are an instrumental Surf/ Rock group from Montreal, Canada. After releasing their first studio album, “Panic At The Pier” in 2017 comprising of original compositions, the band undoubtedly made it’s mark in the surf music scene. Established in late 2012 they started out playing strictly covers. With influences from classic 60’s surf greats to the Neo-Surf acts of the 90’s onward, the band’s repertoire consists of a few surf standards but mostly lean towards the obscure, with the occasional frat-house hit, punk classic, smooth jazzy number, and even hypnotic, sometimes bordering on psychedelic, surf instrumentals. The lineup consists of Jim Johnson (Guitar), Mick Decosse (Guitar), Martin Oligny (Bass), Pat Vojtech (Drums), & Josh Fuhrman (saxophone). With hard hitting drums, two aggressive double picking guitars, groovin' bass lines, and smooth saxophone over-tones, The Men In Gray Suits quickly stood out as one of Montreal’s premier surf acts.
