Gridlock was a hard rock / metal band from New England in the early 1990's.
The band was started as an un-named project in 1991 by guitarist / founder, Frank Tomas and bassist Michael Trnik. Drummer Mike Reykjavik joined in 1992, and shortly after named as GRIDLOCK. The band had difficulty finding band members for the always vacant vocalist and bassist positions.
During spring 1992, Michael Trnik went to college (Berklee College of Music) and February 1993, Mike DeCaprio became the permanent bassist, and Michael "Mik" Monti became the permanent vocalist.
G-Lock played a few shows as "Super Ego" in 1997.
Gridlock lasted till 1994 when they changed the name to G-Lock (or sometimes billed GLOCK). G-Lock ended and the members split later that year. In 1997-98 the band reformed with new members under the name 86 Aspartame. April 2000, the band would end and never reform.
