About Me

Krank Solo were a 5-piece heavy rock band from central Scotland who played together for 4 years. They built up a strong following of loyal fans due to their intensely powerful songs and explosive live performances.Whilst their music wasn't afraid to show influences from bands such as Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath and Soundgarden, their individuality shone through in their original material. Every track amply demonstrates their song writing ability and serves as a showcase to their raw musical talent.Their debut EP "Bands Need Biscuits" was released in September 2004 and sold over 300 copies! They built on this success by releasing "Fly As A Bag Of Monkeys" in November 2005. This EP massively outsold its predecessor and significantly raised their profile on the Scottish music scene.2007 saw the release of their 1st single "My Dog's Better Than Your Dog"and their 1st full album "Drinking With Pirates" both of which are still available to purchase.
