THE CRAVING (formerly Something Else)

What do you crave?

About Me

Emerging out of the pop sounds and dull monotone commercialism that the music industry has become comes a sound that satisfies that hunger that has slowly turned into a craving. The Craving is the brainchild of eclectic singer/songwriter Brian Bingham. He with two friends created not only a band but an idea and a purpose. Later joined by songwriter/lead guitarist Steve Phillips, we call the glue, the band created a ladder and has been rising up ever since. Steve is the motivation, desire, and flavor of this band. Losing a bassist/pianist left a void to be filled by Joe Irvin but not on bass...come to find out Joe is one of the most amazing drummers of this generation. Joe defines the term overflow but he still knows what is best for each song. Through his talent and personality he shows what it is to give 110%. You ask Joe for greatness and he will give you perfection. Kevan Anderson was the final piece to find the formula for excellent music. His driving bass lines and upbeat attitude keep everyone smiling and satisfied while the journey of The Craving is underway. This truly is and will be one of the great bands of this generation. On the shoulders of giants we reach for greatness.
