   About The Cringe

We all met a few years ago when John wanted to start gigging around some of his tunes. Matt was captured in the wild. James was found admiring "quite nice" architecture in Southern France. Shawn required the National Guard to obtain, and we are very proud of that acquisition.

We recorded our debut "Scratch the Surface" in 2003 and got radio play up the ying yang, wherever that is... sounds painful, and then in 2005 we came out with "Tipping Point" and it was distributed through SONY/RED. Our analogue aesthetic have remained strong through both recordings and will stay as we head into the studio to work on our as yet unnamed new album.

Now calling upon the minerals of Rock, and with our powers combined we form: The Cringe. Check us out before we're dead. (Buy our stuff at: amazon.com, cdbaby.com, iTunes, www.thecringe.com, or stores everywhere!!)

Hello friend

Its a pleasure to Said HI in your space.


Who then , can separate us from the love of Christ?
can trouble do it,or hardship or persecution or gunger
or proverty or danger or dead?

for i am certain that nothing can separate us frome his love ;
neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly
rulers or powers ,neither the present nor the future, neither
the world above nor the world below
there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God which is our through
Christ Jesus our Lord
