LA based trio, Crash Kings, are putting their own unique spin on the three-man-band concept.
Fusing keyboard-born compositions with agressive layers of rock, their crafty tunes are accomplished without the hint of a guitar. Incorporating a clavinet (a keyboard with guitar strings) outfitted through a distortion pedal, the result is an arsenal of innovative and rich sound.
With their self-titled debut now available courtesy of Linda Perry's Custard Records, the brothers Beliveau (Tom on vocals/keyboard and Mike on bass) and drummer Jason Morris, will be taking their brand of high energy, hook-laden rock on the road this entire Summer, with an opening slot on Mason Jennings' September tour.
"We suggest you make haste and add some clavinet rock to your collection." - Our Stage
"(Crash Kings) thrives in its simplicity, while not yielding to the temptation to just write the next big pop single" - Audiophilia
