The psychedelic universe of St. Louis-based band Cronus teams with heavy blues rock guitar, gnarly organ work and double rhythmic drive of congas and drums.
Heavily indebted to classic bands like Big Brother and the Holding Company and Led Zeppelin but also influenced by newer blues rockers such as the Black Keys and the Mississippi All-Stars, Cronus can lay on the thick and wicked jams and also lay back into more melodic country sounds.

Bio
Cronus started with the founding members, Matt and Casey, writing songs in a mini studio. The songs and ideas seemed to meet at an organic, but very rock oriented approach. From that day on the band Cronus was born. After searching for a few different names, they found an old greek myth about the rise to power, falling into darkness, and finally heroic defeat. So the name stuck, and the band was born. The song ideas have been based off love, life, happiness, anger, psychedelia, stories, myths, and memories. After noticing that Cronus finally had a good repertoire of songs, they decided to take it to the next level and find the missing members that were needed to complete the sound. Since both Casey and Matt played with Pat Kelley in another project, he was a great fit. Pat added a much needed instrument, bass. His sound added a great low-end rhythm which allowed Matt and Casey to focus on their accents and leads. Pat, had also been in another project with Brandon. Brandon was an excellent fit to the project adding a great drumming style with mixes of many different musical styles and approaches. Along the way, Cronus had also found John Zimmerman, who adds a much needed organic fill with his various percussion instruments, shaker sounds, and audio knowledge. The sytle is an eclectic mix of the minds with various influences. Whether it be soulful southern style leads, or indie/progressive rock, to funk and r&b, to blues and jazz.
