“Everyone’s Gotta Start Somewhere…”
In the year 2006, three socially inept teenagers had just recently picked up interests in guitar (Iggy), bass (Nick), and drums (Dave). After realizing they could play Smoke on the Water and the entire repertoire of Black Sabbath songs together (with all of the enthusiasm and none of the skill), one of the teens proposed the ludicrous idea: “Hey, you can play a power chord, I can play a power chord, why don’t we form a band?!” Everyone agreed upon having a comedic aesthetic, but they still needed a name. The band went through various names that were meant to leave the band “uninhibited” in terms of what genres they could touch (as everyone had different tastes).
The band had about 6 months to prepare for their first show in a bowling alley. It was one of the worst nights of the band members lives (although the same could probably be said for a few audience members), as they butchered cover after cover, only playing one original [instrumental] to round out the set. Shunned by the local scene because of their embarrassing display, the three sought revenge in the only way they knew how…by having another show…at the same venue. Although a lot better than the first, the second gig was still met with abysmal reviews from strangers and sugar coated criticism from family.
The band now stood at a crossroads. Did they hang up their instruments (except the drummer, whose kit would simply be wheeled into a walk-in closet) or keep their rep as the patron saints of patheticness? If you’re reading this right now, the answer to that should be obvious.
The band (now Crambone) went for a complete songwriting overhaul, stripping themselves of their shameful title by pumping out metal classic after metal classic, and then proceeded to invite a former member of the band [Marco] back in (after he finally learned one of the hardest lessons in shredology: knowing when to stop playing!.)
“No Stairway!...”
Crambone had an epiphany: they were destined to deliver ball breaking, bone crushing, spleen churning metal in the image of their once heroes who had long since betrayed them. However, it should be noted that while Crambone were all about delivering the, um, “bread basket of brutality” metalheads were used to (sans dropped tunings and profanity laden lyrics devoid of meaning) they further tapped into their powers to deliver a unique sound of their own, with influences from lesser known bands, all the while breaking down the wall that claims metal is divided into various sub-genres, and preaching that things in life are simply metal, or not metal.
Crambone was soon consuming the local scene of Brockton, Taxachussets with an onslaught of awesome; they released their first demo in February ’08 and their first album (“Harmony of Dissonance”) in October of the same year. They then impressed enough people to earn them their first gig as a real band, a Battle of the Bands in Providence, RI, hosted by Gorilla Productions. This is the gig that is considered the “First True Crambone Show”, as the band actually played their songs the way they were written. With only the band members’ parents as familiar audience, Crambone ended up winning anyway by converting complete strangers into fans. Squeezing the last bit of euphoria from this self-esteem boost, the band was inspired to begin work on their second album, “Bach for the Attack”, due for release sometime in 2009.
“And now for something completely different…”
Crambone’s sound is comprised of classic power chord riffage, face melting solos (except from Iggy), and drumming determined to deliver that “punch” (without yawn inducing constant rapid fire double bass.) The band’s sound also comes from their tongue-in-cheek (and sometimes flat out stupid) lyrics dealing with traditionally serious topics (the human psyche, religion), for the band feels reinventing the [overused] wheel of politically charged lyrics and the insipid mainstream trend of trying to claim to possess an enviable amount of “emotional depth” is not only outmoded, but also pathetic. The bands true hatreds also extend to men in sexually questionable clothing, perpetually depressed emos, and posers. This has been discussed as possible material to be used for future songs, as the few but proud fans of Crambone have already eaten up their songs revealing their standing on bands like Slayer (Tempo of the Damned), religion (Dante’s Inferno; Prophetic Proof), and the human mind (Ego Trip; Hallucino-genetics); as well as less serious topics like heavy metal themed fast food (DETH NUGGETS!), video-games (CarnEvil), and the love of metal and contempt of mainstream metal music (Metal Messiah; Bach for the Attack).
All in all, these guys work as hard as anyone else. The band has proven chivalrous in keeping their music alive, and continue to test their mettle with wills of iron, nerves of steel, and balls of brass.
