Stab You
Sounds like someone slowly and painfully put to death. Actually it doesn't, but that sounded like a good thing to say.

We are The Crab and the Tire, an avant-jazz-metal guitar and sax duo who insist on making improvisational music that sounds nothing like anything you've heard before.
Band/artist history
One day, classmates Sebastian Berruz and Jason Firestone were talking about music. Soon after they came to the agreement that John Coltrane was a genius who has never been even close to equalled, they started talking about what instrument each of them played. Not long after, the two musicians decided to jam. After just a few (and far between) separate days of jamming, they came to the conclusion that their jams must be recorded. The songs up now were taken from The Crab and the Tire's December 3, 2005 jam. "Birthday Suit" was written in typical jazz fashion in which simple foundations for the songs were written and then improvised over...while "Bad Case of Blue Balls" and "Stab You" were completely improvised on the spot from start to finish.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We have played live once and that is probably the only time we'll play live ever again as The Crab and the Tire. And that gig sucked, by the way.
