Cringe
Heavy Kick Ass Metal
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Cringe started in 1996 with lead singer/rhythm guitarist Mike Bailey and Drummer Tony
King. After a week of jamming Mike's brother Jay joined as Lead Guitar. After a few bass
players they found Matt Schneider about a year later. This has been the same 4 until the
present and will continue to stay that way.
These 4 have a chemistry rarely found in recent Heavy Metal bands these days. The live
show is intense and fun to watch. If you are at a Cringe concert you cant help but get
involved in whatever is going on.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, We play alot at various venues in the Detroit area. We love to play live. If we could we would play a show every night. A special moment that always sticks out is when we played with Anthrax and Godsmack.
Your musical influences
Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Guns N Roses, Zombie, Type O Negative, Misfits.
What equipment do you use?
Tama drums, Jackson and Ibanez guitars and basses, Marshall and Hartke amps, Shure microphones.
