Gravitar were an American noise rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan, United States, formed in 1992 by Eric Cook, Harry Richardson and Geoff Walker.
In 1995, Richardson parted ways with the band and was replaced by Michael J. Walker, Geoff's brother.
[4] Harold Richardson chose the name Gravitar as a name for the newly formed band.
Cook, who was unaware of the Atari videogame, liked the name because it had a sense of weight and thickness.
