"Grand Format is an emerging Ontario-based musical band that is attempting to coin a new genre in the name of &amp;lsquo;Bubblegum Freak Rock.&amp;rsquo; The genre of music is inspired heavily by Nirvana and David Bowie and is a combination of 50s pop, psychedelic and classic rock. Band member Kurt Watkins describes their unique sound as &amp;quot;Kurt Cobain chewing bubblegum in a Parisian Cafe.&amp;quot;  Labeling one&amp;rsquo;s music is a conventional struggle that emerging bands go through at the beginning of their career. Bands start off by following their inspired bands&amp;rsquo; footsteps and eventually identify their own style of music making after a couple years in. Grand Format is a leading-edge band with bright minds that are determined to have a direct influence within music&amp;rsquo;s progression by developing this new genre of sound parallel with their own music."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
