Craig Smith

About Me

Craig Smith was born in 1973. By 1978, stints on the drums and guitar proved that he had no musical talent whatsoever. This was overcome by a love for music and a drive to create regardless of who listened (if anyone).
Craig released two cassettes while in high school (now out of print and unobtainable). He found his footing at a small record store named Disc/Connection in 1995 (now sadly gone) and released some more music (also out of print and unobtainable). In 1998 he started an epic project which has undergone many title changes and track lineups.
Overall, Craig is a bloke who (now and then) completes a started project. Currently he is working on an EP of dark material entitled AMORPHOUS; recording will commence in Minneapolis during December and will see release in early 2009. MyGen Profile Generator
