Question
Hi,
Around the same time AIC released the song Grind, there was a similar song, I thought was called Setting Sun (not Chemical Bros) that had a similar feel.

Any ideas on who it is or what it's really called?

Answer
Hello Ben!

Sorry to say nothing is coming to mind, but I can narrow down the search for you.
Grind was the first single released off of the Alice in Chains self titled album in 1995.
It was still hot in 1996 when it was nominated for a Grammy.

If it was a song similar to Grind, chances are that it was written by a "grunge" band.
Nirvana is out K.Cobain died in April 1994), so I'd start with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam,
and Stone Temple Pilots.
Or just do a year/songs search.

Sorry I could not give you a definite song and band, but hope I have helped point the search.

On the topic of the band Alice In Chains I can answer almost any question concerning discographies, recording sessions, concert history, tours, and their music (including bootlegs). However, my research only covers the years up to the death of Layne Staley (2002). This topic has been a consuming interest of mine for years and I have aquired a huge database of information: articles and interviews, chart histories and reviews, discographies, biographies, band histories, an EXTENSIVE music library comprised of demos, audio and video bootlegs, side projects, collaborations, soundtrack contributions, and audio/video studio releases.
