Kansas City Chiefs Kyle Turley Discusses Gridiron Records with Sports Illustrated
Invitro Featuring Ex-Snot/Soulfly Guitarist
Mikey Doling Announces November 1st Show with Ankla (Ex-Puya)
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Kyle Turley recently spoke to Sports Illustrated writer Michael Silver where he discussed his new record label Gridiron Records, his joint venture with Ex-Snot/Soulfly guitarist Mikey Doling. An excerpt from the interview is as follows:
Silver: "Speaking of cash, what's up with your music career?"
Turley: "Well, I've started a record label, Gridiron Records, and I'm planning on kicking some ass. I had a lot of downtime when I was out for those two years, and I'd made a lot of friends in the music industry. I hooked up with this guy named Mikey Doling, who had founded a band called Snot out of Santa Barbara. They had played Ozzfest and were gonna be huge but the singer got in a car crash and died, and that was that. Mikey's a killer guitarist, and he and I would see these phenomenal bands in Hollywood that were still unsigned, and that set the wheels in motion: 'Dude, we need to start a label.' So, now we have our own MySpace page at www.myspace.com/Gridironrecords, and we're signing three kinds of bands: rock, hard rock and super-heavy. We have this band called The Hairbrain Scheme that sounds sort of like death metal mixed with the Beatles, 311-style reggae and Queen. "
