The name CrippleFight can and has been defined in many different ways. For us it's a matter of defining the process of striving against struggle. Through out our day to day lives we are all faced with hardships and life altering decisions. Some of them are within our control and some of them are not, either way, both are inspirational.
The four members of CrippleFight have been playing together in various incarnations since 1996, and are based out of the south Kansas City, MO area. The individual members' influences are very different, and cover a vast range of music, making the overall sound of the band, as a whole, very different from song-to-song.
The band consists of drums (Cody Quarles), bass (Skivvies), and two guitarists who equally share the vocal duties.
Some of the band's common influences include Helmet, Alice in Chains, Primus, Tool and Fear Factory, creating a sound that is very rhythmic, and hard-driven with melodic, complementing, and very often, harmonic guitar parts. Two entirely different vocal styles put the finishing touch on a very distinct sound.
Their live show is very energetic, and they thrive off energy from the audience, constantly involving them in the show as much as possible.
