About Me

Raised in the middle of an island called ENGLAND (to all those in the USA we're that small island next to Europe), we turned to music as salvation against the boredom of our normal lives. 10yrs we've been involved in some way or another.I won't lie and say we've always been into a certain style of music... I grew up listening to some really dodgy stuff, so did the other lads, I was into hardcore rave from 14 to 17, then I was a house music DJ in Birmigham from 1996 onwards...(Hi_to_all_the_Bakers/Moneypennys/Sundessential_cr ews_GET_IN_TOUCH)One of us was into heavy rock, grunge and indie. We overcame our differences though.We all adore breaks & beats and anything that was off-the-wall. I was a later starter into indie/rock but now i've got the appriciation.Since then we've been bigs fan of electro, funk, soul, blues and where ever else I could find inspiration. It's left us confused, so we tend not to restrict to genres and such.So here we are... with an eclectic bed of sounds and songs.Enjoy you Kraazzy Kats!
