The Long Story The Crux blasts a mashup of rock, indie pop, and blues. What do they sound like, you ask? Well imagine what would happen if Blondie, AC/DC, the Foo Fighters, the Tragically Hip, and the Ramones started a band. The Crux released their first 4 song EP 1.0 in June 2010 to a packed house with great reviews. In 2010 saw The Crux make their way across The Kawarthas making noise and making fans. Things started to happen in 2011; Derek Weatherdon join the lineup adding a shot of cool, freaky guitar, The Crux was named one of the top 5 bands to watch for in 2012 by The Wolf 101.5FM, headlined shows, played The Horseshoe and The Drake, opened for touring acts, won a major radio station competition, received their first radio airplay, and releasing there second 5 song EP, Soul Pollution. The Crux also appeared on their first festival stage, Wolfstock, one of the largest outdoor festivals in eastern Ontario, sponsored by The Wolf 101.5 FM in Peterborough, opening for Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar. In 2012 The Crux was back at The Horseshoe Tavern, playing a bunch of festivals and playing a packed house at the Wire Awards after being nominated in several categories. It all sounds so good doesn't it, but they walked away empty handed and thats when things got weird. Not liking the kind of weird which ensued, The Crux decided to shake things up by recruiting Kimber Cavanagh from Peacock as their new lead singer. Kimber brings her own punch to the band having opened a slew of time for Three Days Grace, Treble Charger, Serena Ryder, Finger 11, Danko Jones, Toyko Police Club...(I could go on but I won't) as the singer/songwriter/guitar player for Peacock. With Kimber came a lyrical and melodic overhaul of many of the existing Crux songs and together they wrote a bag full of new ones - now everyone is happy - especially the audience. The Crux has shared the stage with many major label and national touring acts such as Big Sugar, Supersuckers, Hollerado, The Gentlemen Husbands, One Bad Son, See Spot Run, Whos Army, The Spades, Wide Mouth Mason, Bleeker Ridge, The Paper Lions, The Birthday Boys, Glen Matlock ( The Sex Pistols), and many more, as well as playing some killer venues. Check them out because 2014 has turned out to be one awesome year for these guys. xoxo |
