CRAINE formed in April 2006 in their hometown of Sheffield. After building a loyal Yorkshire fanbase the boys supported 'Rooster' on their UK Tour in late 2006. This was followed by the band's growing 'Myspace' fanbase snapping up all 3,000 ltd copies of debut EP 'Treehouse Sessions' in 2 weeks flat.
Gigs in 2007 took them further a field to different corners of the UK as the band generated label interest. In February 2008 with label interest gathering pace, the band parted company with original drummer Jordan Osborn. With only a week before their label showcase, jamming started with replacement Tom Stebbing, who instantly fitted in with the band's sound. Tom played the showcase and after an array of interest the band confirmed they had signed to Halo Records.
The band released debut single 'End of the Line' in June 2008, on download and limited edition CD, which entered at No 7 in the 'Radio 1' Official Indie Chart (to see the official video please see below). The release was supported by a string of successful UK tour dates.
After taking time out to record, CRAINE's limited edition single release 'Divine Intervention' reached No67 in the UK Official Chart in April 2009 (to see the official video please see below).
Debut album 'Sleeping Vixen' followed that month, after launching to a sell out crowd at the 'O2 Academy' in Sheffield.
The band toured the album extensively up and down the UK and also played at the MTV Music Week on Malta in July, supporting 'The Black Eyed Peas' and 'Lady Gaga'.
The album is still selling strong now, as we're in late 2009.
