Following their acclaimed #ForYouChester UK Tour in 2024, which raised awareness for men’s mental health and suicide prevention, Grey Daze continue to build a global movement of healing and resilience through music.

“Cris has brought an energy and voice that reignited our passion for making music,” said drummer and founding member Sean Dowdell. “We’re inspired every day by the fans who continue to find hope in these songs. ‘Shadows’ is about emerging from pain and rediscovering light - it’s both personal and universal.”

'Shadows' delivers Grey Daze’s signature mix of melodic intensity and emotional depth, highlighting the band’s unmistakable chemistry and sense of purpose. The single marks a new chapter for the Phoenix, Arizona-based group as they prepare for an expanded England 2026 tour.

In 2025, Grey Daze returned to rock radio with 'Fake Little Lies' and 'Still Screaming', their first new music since Chester’s passing. With Hodges’ distinctive vocals and growing songwriting presence, the band rekindled its creative momentum and performed a series of sold-out European shows.

“We had fans travel from Japan and even from the war-torn border of Ukraine just to see us,” Dowdell shared. “It reminded us how deeply these songs resonate. They still need to be heard.”

Formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1993 by drummer Sean Dowdell and vocalist Chester Bennington, Grey Daze became a standout in the 90s alternative scene, releasing two independent albums and cultivating a devoted underground following. After Bennington’s rise to global fame with Linkin Park, the band’s catalogue remained dormant for years. In 2016, plans began for a reunion featuring the original members alongside new guitarist Cristin Davis, with a special performance scheduled for Club Tattoo’s anniversary in 2017. Those plans were tragically cut short by Chester’s passing.

In 2020, Grey Daze released Amends on Loma Vista Recordings, featuring Bennington’s archival vocals and guest appearances from members of Korn, P.O.D., Bush, and Breaking Benjamin. The album debuted at #1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. The follow-up record, The Phoenix (2022), reached #2, featuring Dave Navarro, Richard Patrick (Filter), and Bennington’s twin daughters Lily and Lila on vocals.

Grey Daze returned to the stage in 2023 for U-Fest in Phoenix, where the band introduced Cris Hodges as frontman. By 2024, the line-up expanded with Evan Nichols on bass and Kenny Bulka on guitar, cementing the band’s revitalized five-piece sound.
