About Me

real editor best profile tools
Crankshaft - It all started in the spring of 2005. Brent came up with the idea of forming a new band again. After some failed efforts with previous band due to lack of ambition and not enough experience, it was time to start a new and more serious project. He asked two guys he knew from school and of whom he knew that played the guitar pretty well, whether they were interested. These men, named Ben and Marijn immediately said yes. Ben started writing the first songs and within a year we had six own songs finished. But we still needed a bass player. During the first year we were searching without result… But finally we found Dennis to complete our setup.
First gig took place at the 16th of September in 2006. Since that day we play our own songs, that consist of some ballad-like guitar songs and some more hard rocking songs with sometimes a sniff of thrash metal. We also play a few covers, sometimes.
The 30th of November, we released our first demo-cd called “The ignition”. The demo contains seven songs that were recorded at our rehearsal room with low budget recording stuff…
