Crunge

Hardhitting as Juggernaut, Heavy as a ton of bricks, beautiful as a golden morning, straight on like a cannonshell, hard to stop as a freight train. It all relates to the swedish quartet from the outskirts of Stockholm. With various influences as Motörhead, Down and Black label society blended with U2 and Depeche mode, one might say it sums up like a bit of old school Metallica with exsqusite choruses and a jackhammer. Richard Bång and Tomas Marklund lined up with Mathias Blomster and Jonathan Pennheim in august 2010 to write some excellent songs and reach out to the crowds. Early 2011 they went into Reiki Studio, Stockholm with producer Geo Slam (RedOne Productions) to start recording their debut EP. Day after the release, "Desolate" reached the public thru the radio channel Bandit Rock who broadcast nationwide. Gigs came shortly after and Crunge appeared on various local venues in the Swedish capitol.

As an early christmas present Tomas told the band he needed to step down and hand the over bass to his successor. On december 27th Crunge performed an acoustic set as an opener for their friends in Smash Into Pieces. The bass was picked up by Peter Kjellin (Plan Three) and the week after he was officially a member of Crunge. The new line up played a couple of gigs before entering Ramtitam Studios to record their second EP. Seven songs were recorded.
