Artist History ABstraXT is a Cambridge, Maryland based Hip-Hop/Rock band that has its own distanced sound by mixing Rock/Metal with True Hip-Hop style lyrics. The name ABstraXT comes from the word “abstract” meaning no direction. Although ABstraXT’s main M.O. is Hip Hop/Rock, they follow no format in writing their music. ABstraXT uses what ever they feel needed to get their point across including DJ Scratches/Samples/Live Guitars/Live Bass/ Hip-Hop Lyrics/Harmonies and Live Drums all directed to an IN YOUR FACE style of music. ABstraXT was formed in early may 2001 by its five seasoned members who wanted to try a new style of music. Antone “Tony” Ennels (Vocals) and Wally “Ripper” Creighton (Vocals) comes from a strong Hip-Hop back ground and have been working together vocally for over ten years. They have both established themselves as two of the Eastern Shores Hottest and known MC’s through shows, Local Media and several independent albums. In September 1994 they obtained a production deal at Twin-Loop Studios in New York. Chris Abbott (Guitar) comes from a hard rock/metal background and has played in several bands over the last twenty years one of which opened for the band Foghat. Chris has many years of live sound, studio and performance experience. Greg Burger (Bass) comes from a funk/rock background and has played in numerous bands. Greg has played in bands that have opened shows for the bands Quiet Riot and Foghat. Greg has had years of experience in performing live as well as studio experience. Craig Pfaff (Drums) comes from a pop/rock/ background. Craig has played in numerous bands and also has years of live performance experience. In 1995 Craig opened his own recording studio in Easton, Maryland (Bennett Audio Digital) and has completed several local radio station projects. In May 2001 Tony, Wally, Chris, Greg and Craig decided to all come together and mix all musical backgrounds. The result was a sound they call ABstraXT!!

Albums Bring The Pain 2003

Press Reviews Damn...this is a tight track! Straight from the start, it KICKS ASS! Good buildup from the start. The track sounds like House of Pain meets Faith No More with a little hint of Limp Biz in there. Awesome lyrics, very enunciated, clear, professional vocals...very tight guitars. The overall mix kicks ass...reminds me of Limp but with a lot more edge. Good shit overall. I dig it. Wouldn't suggest any changes at this point...Rock on.
