KROME(Canada)

Modern Hard Rock

Krome is a 4-piece modern rock act that hails from Vancouver, Canada. Their sound has been described as "sonically modern, in the vein of Nickelback, Default, Puddle of Mudd, and Theory of a Deadman yet the songs display a cool variety of 'old school' influences such as Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots." The resulting combination is a sophisticated mix of tightly structured harmonies, deep guitars, and dark, often brooding melodies that cleverly interchange with bright, ethereal chorus hooks. The writing team of Lead Guitarist/Singer Shawn Meehan and Producer Ted Moore combined to form the songs for the full-length CD "Neglected" in the Fall of 2002. "My collaborative relationship with Shawn has actually existed for nearly a decade now" explains Moore, "we have worked on several projects together, yet this group of songs is, I believe, some of the best work that I have had the pleasure of being a part of." Meehan adds: "I have gotten Ted so pumped about this album, (laughs) that I actually now managed to talk him into playing bass for the band, both live and on record." Meehan and Moore are joined by Vancouver session guru Doug Grant on drums and Jesson Nelson - a relative newcomer to the Vancouver music scene, on second guitar.
