36 Crazyfists is evidence that there's a beauty in isolation, a newfound purpose<br />
from even the worst of tragedies, and that heavy metal and hard rock music<br />
doesn't have to be all doom and gloom to have power.<br />
<br />
Like the Jackie Chan flick from which they take their name, 36 Crazyfists brings<br />
an action-packed attack with a smile, injecting an infectious enthusiasm into<br />
their unique blend of crushing rhythms and soaring melodies. All of the rage and<br />
venom you'd expect is intact, of course, but there's a depth and dynamic that is<br />
too often absent from the style that is inherent to everything 36 Crazyfists is<br />
about.<br />
<br />
Now an integral part of the ever-expanding Ferret Music family, 36 Crazyfists is<br />
set to enter the studio with guitarist Steve Holt at the helm to record the<br />
followup to the fan-beloved Rest Inside the Flames. New songs promise to further<br />
expand and develop their sound, with the band's patented twists and turns which<br />
already earned them favor amongst fans of bands like Thursday and Thrice<br />
ensuring that none of it sounds contrived, copied or otherwise rehashed from<br />
other bands.<br />
<br />
"Anchorage, Alaska has a small music scene," explains vocalist Brock Lindow.<br />
"Pretty much everyone knows each other. Growing up there shaped us to be aware<br />
of the beauties of isolation and creating your own self. We had MTV just like<br />
everyone else, but as people, we adapted to dark winters and summers where the<br />
sun never went down. That in itself created so many amazing rituals and memories<br />
of the season."<br />
<br />
From the band's beginnings in 1994, they set out to create honest music that<br />
draws from many places without sounding like any other band in particular. After<br />
their original bass player died in a tragic automobile accident, the band<br />
relocated to Portland, Oregon and continued on, ever more determined to make<br />
their music heard.<br />
<br />
The guys in Bay Area metal band Skinlab alerted the A&R department at Roadrunner<br />
Records to 36 Crazyfists, who released their first album, Bitterness the Star,<br />
in 2002. A Snow Capped Romance followed two years later, supported on tours with<br />
Killswitch Engage (whose early releases were issued by Ferret) and Poison the<br />
Well (who are now on Ferret).<br />
<br />
Rest Inside the Flames delivered tenfold on the promise of the first two albums,<br />
showcasing Lindow's impressive range alongside the skillful and fluid playing of<br />
Holt, drummer Thomas Noonan, and bass player Mick Whitney. Throngs of fans<br />
across Europe and North America have embraced the band. Andy Sneap is scheduled<br />
to mix the band's as-yet untitled Ferret Music debut, which promises to be turn<br />
even more heads than before.<br />
<br />
"I hope people can look at 36 Crazyfists as a group that came from a place where<br />
no one gets out of musically, who saw the world and made music that was creative<br />
and in some form, unique," says Lindow. "And I think the greatest thing<br />
alongside that is to gain the respect of your peers."<br />
