Artist description Decidely diverse but mostly with guitars in. Usually a cool tune in there somewhere. Grooves from loops and sequencers. Heavy guitars. Full website at http://www.crashtv.mcmail.com SO, to business... We've had many an adventure in the stupid music business - even got offered VW Beetles as payment from a Brazilian record company. But that's another story. We just write music that we'd like to hear, from metal to pop to tashy trance, and the songs always end up being none of those but somewhere between.

Music Style Bit of this, bit of that. Drums, loops, synths and guitars

Musical Influences NIN, Cardiacs, Pantera, Seal, Killing Joke, Moby, Iggy Pop, Radiohead, Bowie, Metallica, Komeda, Apollo440, John Barry, Recoil, Duran Duran, Groove Armamda, Lizst, Rammstein, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Cardigans ...

Similar Artists Soulwax, Blur, Travis, Radiohead, (NIN? naaaa)

Artist History Lots of history. All boring though. Well the Beetle incident was notable but we've said that already.

Group Members Steve has singing. Chris has guitar. Peter has drums and electronics. And there's also some machines.

Instruments We use instruments, yes, and also many DEVICES of that electrical nature.

Albums There was an album years ago. Released in the Philippines (!). It was rubbish. We're back, and louder.

Press Reviews It's been said of CrashTv in the music press: "Their influences range from techno to thrash metal and pop, and their aim is to infiltrate the indie-club/pop scene." "This is everything good British pop should be. Beats you can dance to, energetic and abrasive guitar, vocals with a slight twist of irony in the delivery, and no transatlantic rock infulences." "They know their patch to the extent of listing its doyens: Blur, Carter, Oasis, and Killing Joke. Combining these sounds in equal proportions gives CrashTv their trademark sound." "CrashTv [are] versatile musicians and accomplished engineers ... a band with their fingers on the pulse. Remember, you heard it here first."

Additional Info Only 2 of us have any sort of living pet.
