Cradle Of Thorns

Bio:

.. THE PAST

Cradle Of Thorns formed in 1988 by Ty Elam COT released a series of one-off albums (including 1990's seminal Remember It Day) that, along with extensive touring, earned them a national underground following. Signed in the early '90s to Triple X Records - home ot among others, Social Distortion and Jane's Addiction - the group relocated its base of operations south to the thriving Huntington Beach music scene, even as they continued to attract attention with releases like 1994's Feed Us and its follow-up, 1996's raging Download This . In between studio stints, the band opened for a bewildering variety of acts from the above-mentioned Social Distortion to Offspring, Sunny Day Real Estate to SugarRay. In 1998 Cradle Of Thorns signed to Korn's Elementree Records label, and changed the band name to Videodrone and released what would be Cradle Of Thorns 4th Studio album, after a series of tours with Korn, Rob Zombie, and Orgy, Videodrone broke up in 2000.

THE PRESENT

After a slew of failed projects Ty Elam met Steve Thiriot in Las Vegas, NV (2005) while each others bands at the time played a show together at The Cooler Lounge, Steve being a huge Cradle Of Thorns fan was honored to share the stage with one of his all time musical idol's. The two stayed in touch over the next couple of years. Missing the vibe from Cradle Of Thorns and never really liking the name Videodrone Ty revived the name Cradle Of Thorns, and in march 2007 headed to Las Vegas from Bakersfield to meet up with Steve, bringing along long time friend Matt Wilkinson, The three started work on a new Cradle Of Thorns record.
