We're Livin' In a Concrete Jungle! And we are the Demolition Crew! Demolition Crew has been bringing original reggae and ska, as well as classic covers, to music fans in Southwest Ohio since 2003. We formed with the philosophy of using ska and reggae music to knock down the barriers of hate, greed, war and misunderstanding that comes between people of all colors and creeds and keeps us from unifying to fight the Powers that keep us down. Demolition Crew showcases the original music of leader Stan Middleton, but is a sum of the talents and experiences of all our members, who unite with a common love of reggae and ska music. These players have performed in bands such as Crucial DBC, JahBone, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, The Ark Band, KMA, Seefari, Groove Therapy, Nerak Roth Patterson, Piney Brown, Snapper Mitchum, Arjebella, Left Turn Signal, Lakeside, Heatwave, Platypus, Slave, Idren Posse, Sharon Lane, Romeo Champagne, Jackie Dale and Ruff House, Qualytee Tiime, Eric Jerardi, The Deele and many more. Horns are front and center in the sound of the band, and the rock solid rhythm section propels the music to greater heights.The combined sound makes for compelling listening and mighty danceable grooves. Demolition Crew is definitely a band that leaves our audiences wanting more, wherever we perform. Rock the House Like 'Dis, Y'all!
