C.R.S.
Classic Rock Stars
At Your Service…Pete REVEEN PAUL SHORTINO DAVE ALFORD
Salty Dog Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot Ratt, Rough CuttC.R.S. stands for CLASSIC ROCK STARS, but also for CREDENTIALS.
This power trio combines three DECADES of hard rock skills honed in arenas around the world, with the multi-platinum-selling recording artists RATT, QUIET RIOT, ROUGH CUTT and SALTY DOG!
Bassist/Vocalist PAUL SHORTINO (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot, and more) has rocked stadiums worldwide alongside DIO, DOKKEN and more. The albums ROUGH CUTT, ROUGH CUTT WANTS YOU and ROUGH CUTT LIVE established Paul as a vocal phenomenon on the L.A. Hard Rock scene, and had him recruited to fill the vocal void left by Kevin DuBrow in QUIET RIOT, and brought him to the silver screen as “Duke Fame†in the legendary THIS IS SPINAL TAP! Paul’s strong, soulful voice enables him to duplicate scores of great vocalists and still shine with his own original material.
Percussionist DAVE ALFORD was the original drummer for RATT and was personally invited by Ronnie James Dio to join the L.A. metal scene, where he joined forces with Paul to create ROUGH CUTT. Dave’s powerhouse drumming has been compared to ‘an armored division on stimulants’ (--RockOverAmerica
Magazine).
Guitarist PETE REVEEN has electrified both European and American audiences with the 80’s rockers SALTY DOG. Influenced by 70’s greats Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore—and originally schooled by J.J. French of TWISTED SISTER, Pete’s guitar chops rival those of Robin Trower’s and easily overpower those of most guitarists playing today.
Together, this power trio cranks out a hard rock power-trip through thirty years of classic blues, rock and metal. The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Guess Who, Free, Joe Walsh, Cream, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Rough Cutt and dozens more—CRS delivers a treasure trove of truly precious metal.
