Voted Best Band by the Long Island Press (2008, 2009), Paging Grace has captivated fans with their intense stage performance and anthemic songwriting. Named after lead singer Chris Trentacoste's grandmother, Paging Grace was a name to reflect how he believes that even after death, his connection with her continues and is only strengthened through his music. Just like Trentacoste, listeners need to have music they can connect with. Paging Grace's blend of piano-driven rock and soul searching storytelling is accessible enough for everyone. Their debut EP, All You're Made Of saw over 5,000 digital copies sold. The album's single "Leave' impacted radio in January 2008 in the "Hot Adult Contemporary" genre, and was statistically well recieved in the Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York markets. Soon after, the band was awarded "Hot AC Most Added New Artist" and reached number #1 on the "Independent Music Network ". For their followup release, the band enlisted producer Mike Watts (Brand New, Adalita's Way). The EP features new material such as the power ballad "Take Back Your Freedom". Originally penned about Trent's mother during her battle with breast cancer, it soon became a political anthem after it was performed at the 2008 Presidential Debate Rally in New York. .
