A history of the indie rock band… Crashing Cairo
Since breaking into the indie rock scene in February 2007, Royal Oak (Metro-Detroit) based Crashing Cairo have been primarily playing venues in the area. With their debut album, Monday Changed Everything (2008), they merge gritty hooks with rollicking guitars to generate some seriously inspired gems. Unapologetic vocals with lo-fi instrumentals assemble a bevy of inspired creations. Monday Changed Everything explores wounded naievete, throwback instrumentals, and smart guitars throughout the album. With standout tracks like "Hair," Crashing Cairo appeals to indie rock fans and non-indie rock fans alike.

I was just asked for more "REAL" bio information... this is how I responded... As for us... I (wax) started performing my music solo/acoustic about 2 years ago... played shows from Detroit to New York City.. (CBGB's)... Then I met..Duane... also known as Custom... check him out at myspace.com/custom He showed up to a show... invited me back to his place... (a HUGE apartment in NYC) and suggested I get a band together... Well... I took his advice.... After playing together for a little while... I wanted it to be more of a "band"... not me solo.. with a back up band... so we changed the name, took on a real BAND attitude... and here we are....

"Monday Changed Everything" answers any question you may have. Yes, they belong on the charts. Crashing Cairo gave a stadium sized performance and I am glad I was there to experience it."

Review from Radio Basile ~ Italy
Crashing Cairo has really something to say in this bloody crowded music world, believe me! Indigenous to Detroit, Michigan, US, they brilliantly produce a superb full flavoured alternative rock, with mixed experiences that range from symphonic music effects to almost punkish riffs, that hits the point; "developing a cutting edge sound in this era is a difficult task" says Wax. But for me they have reached the objective, a great band such as this one should be in the charts!! Their sensational mini lp is a joy to listen to, 6 stunning tunes, each song it's better than the previous one, don't really know which way to start to find a single, nothing to waste. Apart "Hair", the wonderful song in the player, we have the extraordinary "Rise", the brit pop oriented "Children", "Luxury" a passionate ballad, "Greyhound" and "Tell", both fantastic. From 1 to 10, 8! Join my enthusiasm and visit their web page!
