The response to our new record is so good, and people have been asking us about new music so often, that we've gone back into the studio and recorded a couple new tunes to satisfy the demand, or at least in hopes that people will stop complaining! They are:
Sympathetic Mind
I Won't Leave You Here
At the moment, this EP is only available for purchase at shows, so come out to our next gig (March 13th at El Corazon in Seattle, 6:30 pm, All-ages/bar with ID) and pick one up.

Happy New Year!
Happy 2008! Thanks to everyone who came out to the Showbox SoDo, it was without a doubt the best GF gig yet. And Trevor looks damn good in a Santa hat.
Some plans for early '08:
-More gigs. Many, many more gigs (nothing new there)
-A new full-band EP (you freaking people keep buying our record, so we gotta do something, right?)
-A new acoustic, solo-Trevor EP (something for the ladies!)
Right now, Devin's in San Diego, Justin's in Virginia Beach, and Trevor's in Hawaii, all three getting some well-deserved R&R. Rough lives, I know.
Stay happy, be well, and here's to more GF in '08!

Recent Question
Someone asked me recently what winter in Seattle is like. I always think of it as being like a Coldplay album on repeat: at first it’s kinda soothing and low-key, but after a while you think that if you hear a piano ballad one more time you’re gonna punch someone in the face. Seattle’s rain is like Chris Martin’s falsetto singing: persistent and grating in its inoffensiveness! The rain here, much like Coldplay's music, is not so bad that you wanna throw yourself in traffic, but it can definitely ruin a vacation. (Don’t hate us Coldplay fans and any interested parties from Capitol Records. Ha.)
Thanks to Katherine from Ridgefield, WA for putting together the cool pic posted here! Keep ‘em coming, we love getting stuff from fans and will gladly post your pics/graphics on our website and myspace pages. Very cool.

Q & A with Trevor, pt.1
HOW DID GARRISON FROST GET STARTED?
The band formed out of equal parts reckless decision-making, last minute panic and blackmail.
Around December 2006 I was feeling really restless and frustrated from being trapped in this weird musical limbo. I'd always been a guitar player and was tired of taking side-man gigs, playing other people's tunes and having no say in any creative aspect of a band. I had never really given singing a serious shot but, after writing songs for about a year and trying and failing to find a singer, I finally gave in and booked some solo shows at small places in and around Seattle, just to try the whole singing thing out under the radar and see if I had the chops.
The shows went well, I liked the challenge of entertaining a crowd on my own and the freedom to play and improvise whatever I felt like on any given night. It helped build my confidence, allowed to me to figure out how I sang and gave my songs a life of their own, but I knew the solo thing wasn't for me. I wanted to play in a proper rock band and not be lumped into the "tall, brown-haired, guitar-playing, Berklee-educated pansy whining on about past love and all that crap" demographic (I think John Mayer has that market nailed, that bastard). So I booked a recording session, but in my exuberance sorta neglected to find a drummer and bass player. That's kinda like feeling really great about buying a nice belt but then remembering you don't own any pants. Oops. The whole spontaneity thing can be a drag sometimes. Fortunately, I had just reconnected with Devin in Seattle and he was game to get into the studio. We recorded four tunes in an afternoon: Giving Up, You Said, Garden of Eden, and Just a Game. Justin wasn't in the band yet so I ended up playing bass! We didn't even have a band name yet.
When Devin and I heard the final mixes we knew we'd made some music that was pretty special, or at least had potential, or at the VERY least wasn't Nickelback. So, I went about filling out the rhythm section and gave Justin a call. I met him through my buddy Dave who played drums in his old band, P-38. The band had just broken up and Justin was eager to jam, so I invited him and Devin over to my rehearsal space and had band photos taken. I didn't really give Justin an option: he was in the band, and I had the pictures to prove it!
