Crail
Local Alaskan band introducing a new hard rock style.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Basically our band started 2 years ago in High school. Jared(Vocals, Rythm Guitar) and Matt(former bassist)started a band with some other guys. Then Travis (Lead Guitar) started playing with them and eventually took over their former guitarists position. All 3 played for quite a while with many different drummers who all had a conflict in musical interest. They gave Mike (drummer) a shot at playing, and eventually Crail formed. We've played live shows including our High School Graduation, coffee shops, and community events. We also made a CD "Professionally Unprofessional" in the summer of 2002.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. Any place we can play. We love playing live, it's a great feeling playing music that people enjoy.
