Bittersweet Descent, based in White Plains, NY, came together in 2022 after various collaborations that grew out of Mark Grossman's first independent studio EP project. Currently comprised of Mark Grossman, Jamie Altieri, Pat DeBallonia, and Michael Calle, BSD crafts original, genre-busting, emotionally-charged, high-energy material, built around melodic hooks and driving drums, bass, and guitars. The band's blending of folk, country, rock, and punk generates live shows that can swing both seamlessly and wildly between styles and sounds. Live shows are peppered with an array of covers that blend in well with BSD's original work. In December, 2023, the band went back to Woodside Productions in Peekskill, NY, and recorded sixteen new songs that are currently being released as singles. Between December 2022 and April 2023, the band recorded a six-song EP at Woodside Productions entitled Clarity, which is available for streaming on all platforms. In 2022, Grossman released six singles as a solo project, all of which are available on streaming platforms under his name and Bittersweet Descent. Former band members: Krisana Soponpong, Jesse Weiss, and Chris Perna.
