Back in a simpler time there was no indie, no emo, no nu-rave. No post-this, post-that, post-whatever the hell else. There was just riff-laden, ballsy rock 'n' roll; huge songs, life-changing gigs and a whole world of noisy, gutsy fun that took people out of their dreary everyday lives and made them feel truly special. It's from this effervescent historical well that the UK's most charismatic young band draw their inspirations. But this is no retro pastiche - these boys are young, hungry and bringing anthemic rock songwriting flailing and wailing into the 21st century.
"Being in this band is an escape from reality, all that matters when we're onstage is the music and the audience and making sure every person in that room leaves feeling like they have just been a part of something truly special" - Ryan.
The past 3 years have seen the guys complete 3 tours of the US including shows at the Harley Davidson 105th Anniversary alongside Bruce Springsteen and the Foo Fighters, the Brit Bus tour which took them 5,000 miles across the Country on an English double decker bus and a headlining show at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel Casino on Halloween night.
Add to this over 120 tour dates in the UK & Europe since the start of '09 both on their own and with Shinedown, Buckcherry, Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, Flyleaf, Deep Purple - plus slots at Download, Sonisphere, Rock Im Park & Rock Am Ring festivals last year - and The Crave are a powerful well-oiled live machine.
The Crave will release their debut album 'Breaking The Silence' later this Autumn with tour dates added all over the UK , and further headline tour dates to follow in the new year. They'll also be visiting many of the country's rockschools - tutors find them an inspiration for the hundreds of young bands following in their footsteps.
