The best kept secret in music
Press
“Here to rev your engine like a lit match to a gas tank. Road Crew steam rolls over current trends (screemo, garage, etc.), forcing listeners to bow before their giant wall of amps. With a Motorhead rumble and a Social D strut, their blues injected leads scream and moan like wailing porn flick chicks. They preach from the bible of sex, booze and sin, telling stories much like there heroes AC/DC and Johnny Cash.”

“Heavy rockin’ blues with a punk edge and a dash of rockabilly. Damien can scream better than any 80s hair band I’ve ever heard and his little brother Tony can tear up a six string with the best of them.”

Bio
Damien Christian, Tony Lee, Shrek, and Randy Raunch got together to start a band that played what they wanted to hear, sleazy rock n’ roll. Road Crew took four guys from varying musical backgrounds (Damien and Randy punk rock, Tony blues, and Shrek metal), melded their styles together with two basic principles in mind. Play solid rock songs and put on an energetic show. Over the past two years, Road Crew has found out they weren’t the only ones wanting to hear this music. They have gained a loyal following and it grows with every show. Playing everything from backyard and basement shows to the Bottom Lounge and Double Door in Chicago, opening for such national acts as Dr. Chuds X-Ward, Rocket 350, Darkbuster and Born To Lose.
In 2000, Road Crew released a 12 song CD called, “Luck Ain’t Got Nothin’ To Do With It”, which is currently in it's second pressing. Road Crew has just released a live record in August of 2005 titled, “Live at the Double Door” with a Southwest tour to support it. Fresh off the road, Road Crew is home and gearing up to hit a couple of weekend shots to Austin and Denver where they were received quite well.
Road Crew has one goal, to give everyone a good show. Whether in a basement, an outside stage, or a club, Road Crew is all about the live show, the power, the energy and “stuff that makes you appreciate rock & roll and reminds you what it’s all about” (C. Morgan, Contraband Entertainment).
