Never Tear Us Apart by @inxs cover by The Graystones Feb 2026

Описание: The last few months have been transformative for us. We had several musicians go off to start their own band. We wish them luck and are so happy that more kids are grouping together to create music!

This left The Graystones with needing to find 3 key musicians.

1. bass - after a long search, we were lucky enough to find an amazing bass player named Greyson. Yes it's true we have the drummer Grayson (12 years old), and the bassist Greyson (12 years old) who we call Grey. Grayson and Greyson are the rhythm section! That takes getting used to!

2. guitar - we found Summer! She's been playing guitar for around 2 years and she lives just down the street so can come over and jam any time!

3. singers - Izzy might come back and sing with the band, but for now, she's exploring other options. We are still looking for great singers (boys or girls) in our age range of 12 (or maybe 13 or 14). Please reach out to us at www.thegraystones.com if you would like to connect on this.

Welcome to Sock Session 8!

Behind the music:

Our good friend ‪@EvanRileysings‬ came over to the house to guest on several songs and met the band for the very first time Saturday 24 Jan 2026 around 3:00pm. It's crazy, to think, but she and the band only spent about 30 minutes working on the song together as a band and then went outside to play and run around while we set up the cameras. When they came back inside, we started videoing their performance of Never Tear Us Apart. By 4:30pm, we were done. The kids ran through the song 4 times in a row, one after the other, until there was a unanimous vote on the 4th pass and that's what you see here.

A funny mention to Grey (bass), who had been at a swim meet from 9:00am-3:00pm that same Saturday so when he came over to meet Evan and rehearse, he was exhausted! You can see him yawning in some of the rehearsal clips at the end :)

We added some sounds to the track including some keyboard parts and some background vocals (inserted in the video).

We wanted to give a MASSIVE THANK YOU to our good friend Evan Riley, who is the most accomplished vocalist and song writer that we've ever had the honor to work with. She deserves tons of praise and support and we would love to ask that you go and support her own channels (links below)! She is not only an incredible artist, but she's just an amazing kid with so much joy, laughter and energy!

(The audio in our live performances is overwhelmingly live and, on many videos, is 100% live. To some select songs, we may add layers of sound to enhance the overall song and sound experience. But the original live sound is the foundation for all our videos, and then we might decide to add/replace some parts, if we feel it would help to bring the song even closer to the original that we’re honoring - but always in service of the art! With love, The Graystones)
