About
Grand Theft Audio are a English alternative rock band who formed in London in 1998. They were signed to London-Sire Records in 1999 and produced their only album at the time Blame Everyone in 2000 until the band split up in 2003 due to the record label being dissolved that year. Their original line-up was ex-3 Colours Red guitarist Chris McCormack, producer and bassist Ralph Jezzard, frontman; vocalist and ex-Real TV star Jay Butler and ex-The Wildhearts drummer Ritch Battersby. In 2020 the band, minus McCormack, announced on their website page that they were reforming with a new album in the works, leading to the release of their second album, Pass Me the Conch, in 2022. After Jezzard's departure, the band became a duo.
