CRACKS

SLOP ROCK

About Me

A long story involving different band members, odd demo recordings, background vocals being screamed into a drum microphone, a sad attempt to cover NEIL YOUNG's "The Needle and the Damage Done," and spray-painted t-shirts. The band has been mostly based in Kewanee, Illinois, but has also been located in Bloomington, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
