KidCrusher is an Australian Horrorcore artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Originating in 1996, KidCrusher has collaborated with several producers from around the world.

Shawn Montague (KidCrusher) was born October 28, 1986. Born and Raised in the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. KidCrusher started rapping in 1996 recording on cassettes and PC programs and also attempting his dream of being a vocalist in a Death Metal Band. With the lack of commitment from other band members, KC found a way to put both of his musical genres together and start a one man rap metal band, Recording Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vocals and also featuring instrumental production from legends in the business and beat makers in the underground.



KidCrusher was first recognized by the world when he released his first raw music video (A Dirty Fuckin Murder) released on the internet in 2005. It was featured in an article by "Something Awful", which not only delivered KC thousands of negative comments and hate mail, but traffic from millions of fans from the underground music genre known as The Wicked Shit. KidCrusher recorded his debut studio album Tormented Mutation in June 2006 and it was charted on the Awesam 'Music SA Top 10 Independent Charts at number 3, right under The Hilltop Hoods. Which gave him the motivation to create an endless discography to entertain the world.



In 2007 KC wrote a single for "The Disturbed Movie" An Independent Horror Movie by Strongman Pictures Australia, The Director of the film Daniel Armstrong then produced a high definition music video on the set of the movie with KidCrusher in Melbourne, Australia featuring make up and special effects from Justin Dix who recently worked on the set of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Video was reviewed and KC was interviewed by FANGORIA (Americas Leading Horror Movie Magazine). The Single was entitled "Meet The Monstors" featured on KidCrusher's "Cannibal Clown" album. It was also quoted by Matt Molgaard from Fangoria as the most controversial horrorcore music video in the wicked underground.




In 2008 KidCrusher was a featured artist on the compilation album TUNNEL RUNNERS hosted by Insane Clown Posse's sub-label Hatchet House, Featuring 13 of Today's Hottest Unsigned Underground Wicked shit Artists in the world today, Including: King Gordy, Mars, Lo Key, Q Strange, KidCrusher & More. The album was pressed and sold nation wide with Psychopathic Records & Red Distribution.

Also In 2008 KidCrusher was booked to perform on the 2nd stage at the Gathering of the Juggalos Event, hosted by Psychopathic Records and the Insane Clown Posse at Cave-In-Rock, Illinois in the United States. On his plane trip he was deported to Amsterdam due to his criminal record he has held in South Australia. His record was considered criminal to the United States but in Australia it was only an on the spot fine. With all the controversy, KidCrusher can only tour in the United States after a five year waiting period from his fine date, which will end in the year 2012. He has already announced he will be booking shows all around the United States in that year, Including:Ohio, Texas, Los Angeles, Detroit, Michigan, New York, Iowa, Germany & France.



In 2009 KidCrusher accomplished his own Australian Tour entitled Tunnel Runner Down Under Tour featuring special guests including The Berzerker from Melbourne Australia. The Tour consisted of dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Queensland and Sydney during April 2009. After the tour in early 2010, KidCrusher opened for USA Rapper XZIBIT (from Mtv's Pimp My Ride) and also K-RINO from the South Park Coalition with Trips & Mastacraft, at a festival called HEATWAVE in South Australia.



In 2010 KidCrusher announced in his Myspace blog that he is working on two new albums this year.

KC is also working with a full Shock Rock, Death Metal Band called KcaveMen on an album entitled Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums, KC has been working on lead vocals, guitar and production for the band.

KidCrusher recently appeared on Season 20 of Law & Order on the Episode Steel-Eyed Death The Storyline was inspired by Richard Sam McCroskey aka Syko Sam who was arrested for the Farmville murders in the United States. KidCrusher's Music Video for "A Dirty Fuckin' Murder" was featured in the episode when the detectives research about the suspects attendance to a Horrorcore Festival. KidCrusher is fictitiously refereed to as AXIS OF DEATH in the Episode. The Episode aired nation wide on NBC on the 1st of March 2010 with a record of 7.58 million viewers. KC was angered by the episode after the release as the NBC refused to tell him the episode was based on misrepresenting Juggalos to make the entire fan base look like killers. Due to spoiling the script before the release they could only tell him it was based on Syko Sam and KC's Music.



During the month of June 2010 a storm clouded over Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Queensland. When KidCrusher's side project band KcaveMen were defrosted and set out on tour to promote there debut studio album Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums and on tour. With a successful independent tour, booked, managed and paid for by KidCrusher and his fellow band mates and local support acts HEADKASE which also features Todd Hansen on drums. KC said in interviews "The band started out as a collaboration between my self and Todd Hansen and it just blew up from there, I've always wanted to have a band full of committed, good people, and that's what I've finally found". The band is only said to be KC's side project, how ever it's doing really well for that. KcaveMen will re-appear from time to time around Australia and sometime in the near future embark around the world for another tour.



KidCrusher performs several styles of Horrorcore lacing Hardcore Hip Hop with Death Metal, He announced his influences came from his favorite bands such as: Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, The Berzerker, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Rammstein, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Tenacious D, KoRn and System Of A Down. Also mixing vibes and samples from his favorite Horror Films, Dramas and Documentary's sounding like Jason Voorhees or Stephen King on the microphone with his own Tales From The Crypt story telling drama. His brutal lyrics are purely fictional for entertainment and should not be taken seriously. Horrorcore Music is nothing worse then a Horror Movie, It's restricted and fictional.
