Man in Gray was a noise rock band based in Brooklyn/New York City. Their debut EP, entitled No Day/No Night, received critical praise with much of the attention centered on the track titled "Incommunicado," which was listed by Village Voice music editor Chuck Eddy in the publication's annual critics poll. Their next effort was a split 7-inch EP with fellow New York band and Serious Business Records label-mate the Unsacred Hearts.
