Moments in Grace (formerly known as Postcard Audio) was an alternative rock/post-hardcore band from St. Augustine, Florida, active from December 2001 to March 2005.[1][2] In its final days, the band relocated to Burbank, California and its line-up included principal songwriter, lead vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Jeremy Griffith; bass guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Jake Brown; drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick; and guitarist James Glayat.[1][3][4] Earlier in its span, the band also included drummers Jason Frazier and Brandon Cook, guitarists Shane Gibson and TJ Stein, and guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Justin Etheridge.[5][6]
As Postcard Audio, the band released an eponymous EP in July 2002 through Brown's own record label, Computer Club Records. The band spent the next year writing its full-length album, Moonlight Survived,[7] but changed name to Moments in Grace in June 2003, shortly before it was recorded.[8][9] While still named Postcard Audio, the band attracted the attention of record producer and Atlantic Records A&R representative Brian McTernan, who formed his own Atlantic Records imprint, Salad Days Records, specifically to release the band's music.[10] Moments in Grace was properly introduced with These Days Will Fade, a free digital EP released by Salad Days Records in December 2003, and followed up with a split vinyl single with Funeral for a Friend, co-released by Atlantic Records, Salad Days Records, Mighty Atom Records and Infectious Records in April 2004. The band's only full-length album, Moonlight Survived, which includes the single "Stratus" (issued earlier in June 2004), was released after considerable delay in August 2004 through Atlantic Records and Salad Days Records.
Moments in Grace toured North America extensively in promotion of its releases,[11] accompanied by such bands as My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Finger Eleven, Thrice, Silverstein, Funeral for a Friend, Alexisonfire, From First to Last, Smile Empty Soul, Bayside, Hot Water Music, Darkest Hour, Further Seems Forever, Poison the Well, A Thorn for Every Heart, Steriogram, Thornley, Strata, Brandtson, Planes Mistaken for Stars, The Jealous Sound, Beloved, Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer, Noise Ratchet, Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers, Vaux, Engine Down, Statistics, June, Madcap, The Kicks, Don't Look Down, Decahedron and The Last Great Liar.
