Steve Grice, former drummer and founding member of the British thrash pioneers ONSLAUGHT,  launched this project called THE SANITY DAYS.

Commented Grice:

"What is great about this lineup is it not only features two original members but the vocalist from the ONSLAUGHT's biggest-selling album.

"Alan completes the lineup with his excellent guitarist skills, superb stage presence and instant likeability factor."

He added, "We wanted to put a band together of real people. These are people who I have a lot of time for, [who] great attitudes and [are] really down-to-earth honest people. That's important to me — integrity and trust need to be the key ingredient to hold a band together, and if the band doesn't have that, it will fail."

"Our intention is to play as many shows as we can in an 18-month-or-so window and take it from there.

"We are currently working on the final plans to play several well-known festivals along with what will be the biggest and most exciting show I have ever played on.

"THE SANITY DAYS will be together for a limited period only — we don't intend on playing for the sake of it; no clubs or pubs, just the real deal — so keep your eyes open and grab a piece of old-school thrash metal near you soon!"
