KRACKATOA
You have just stumbled onto to some of the best pure, straight up, hard, mean and honest hardcore metal you will find. Krakatau is not your gimmick filled emo screamo sample enhanced metal band. One guitar, one bass, one drummer and one angry little guy with a microphone. We can't sing pretty harmonies, don't even try. Live? We just play as hard as it takes to make you want more.

Why this name?
We like loud powerful music, and you can say it on the radio.
Do you play live?
Yes we play live, as hard and mean as we can. We play most show in the New England area, however we are looking to play outside of New England with some other hardcore metal acts. Like most would say, yes we love to play live, there really is no great way to explain it, it just feels good. Special moments.....wrestling with fans and bandmates.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
not quite sure....
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell Yea!
Band History:
Boston......
There once was a band from Boston called GrudgeF***, they played very energenic shows with some mean heavy riffs and vocals
that can only be described as inner rage spew. They began to develope a fan base and a fair sized draw at the local venues. However
GrudgeF*** wanted more. Having too many oppurtunities been denied to them for the rather abrasive bandname, as of now May 1st, 2005 GrudgeF*** will know be known only as KRACKATOA!!! We are sad to have to drop the radio unfriendly bandname, and we
would like to thank all those that supported us as GrudgeF***, and hope you will continue to support us as KRACKATOA!!! The pure
assualt and energy of the band will never change, the love of our music will never change and maybe with the bandname change we
will be able to share the KRACKATOA experience with many many more.
KRACKATOA will not be missing a beat as we are booking more shows and will be recording some new material soon!!! We hope to
be even more busy bringing you all the music we have created. The KRACKATOA bio is truely just beginning, but our general bio is below this entry. We hope to be recreating a new bio under the name KRACKATOA very soon. We thank you for supporting our behavior!!!
Like the real thing,
KRACKATOA will soon be heard around the world!!!

GrudgeF*** Bio..... R.I.P.
Late 2001, in a dark dank basement with the overwelming stench of mildew and old beer, four angry mover-musicians began to sweat out that daily bullshit that some call life. Pent up aggression from the days work spewed forth from within the four members of what has become the GrudgeF***! we know and love today.
After the first few songs were written and deemed worthy, GF! began to play some small venues and many local parties. Of course GF! rushed to get in the studio within just months. GF! recorded a 200$ special, six songs in six hours. This demo is now buried deep within the earth's crust. The demo basically became a member and family member demo only. If you somehow have obtained this demo- we are very sorry.
GF! in 2002 began the first part of the year off strong with better shows at bigger venues(including Axis, Middle East downstairs , Bills Bar etc..). GF! recorded it's four song demo/EP "Three Day Blowjob" at New Alliance Studios. We thank Nick and Mark for their hard work and patience. After several shows promoting the demo/EP, the various members of GF! wished to pursue their own personal interests.
The rythm section started a band with DuncanWilderJohnson, Destructathon, the guitarist set off to pursue his solo carreer, and the vocalist delved back into the art world. After a while had passed the drummer left Destructathon and joined Adolf Satan. The bass player left Destrucathon and joined the Glamourous Stunt Cocks, and the guitarist quietly continued his pursuit of a solo carreer.
Late 2004...
After many angry fans started berating us for having seperated, the band memebers began to long for a good GrudgeF***!. While the drummer still plays with Adolf Satan he is strongly commited to the re-incarnation of GF! and pursueing a successful band with his brother- the bass player. The bass player after restarting GF! has slowly weened himself out of the Glamourous Stunts Cocks line-up and is focusing his energy on GF! and his animation education. The guitarist although continueing his pursuit of an eventual successful solo carreer, remains commited to the GF! gospel and remains a force to reckoned with. The vocalist, who is still as angry as ever, remains commited to GF! and continues to provide angry blue collar lyrics with a full frontal attack of a stageshow.
GrudgeF***! is now trying to spread the music it has created to all those that are in need of a good GrudgeF***!. GF! has been making its come back in recent days with the power of a frieght train. Our "comeback show" brought GangGreen out for one hell of a night. So stay informed and sign the mailing list, it will not be shared!!
GrudgeF***! is now seeking national exposure, needing show dates around the country, and the world. GrudgeF***! is looking to record its first full length in '05, needing that green devil-the almighty dollar. With thirteen songs, each song better than the last, this full length should be pretty much the best upcoming hardcore album of the year. So stay tuned!!! We just maybe GrudgeF***ing our way to the top!!
GrudgeF*** has been played on air on FNX(2002), and several college radio stations(04-05). GrudgeF*** has also been played on internet radio program "The Autopsy Report", and being played on "TurkeyVultureRecordsRadio" show. GrudgeF*** is now in correspondence with several other internet radio stations at the moment to gain even more airplay. GrudgeF*** is aware of its name and is readily refered to as GF! So don't be shy about putting us on your airwaves, just say GF!
