Crayfish are a drugged-up mix of Black Label Society, Tool, pinched harmonics and southern rock/heavy metal. A concoction that definately works.

From their conception in 2000 in Cirencester, Crayfish have aimed to be a one-gig grunge band. They achieved this so well that all the members left leaving singer/guitarist Matt Aldis to his own sordid devices.

Months past and Crayfish reformed with a new agenda. In 2003 Matt, Felix (bass) and Rupert (drums) took on the task of creating a gargantuan, behemoth-like sound, down tuned everything to destruction and recorded it under the influence of a lot of alcohol and drugs. The results were the foetal seed of a half-arsed good idea.

The introduction of J Evans on lead guitar created aspirations for something better, and though still quite begrudgingly, Matt ‘the leader’ of the band, influenced by bands such as Black Label Society, Alice In Chains, The Meat Puppets and Frank Zappa thought it was time to take the group in a weird and interesting new detuned direction.
