STRONGEST HUMAN BOND
Craw has scared the shit out of me since I heard them the first time (Green Room : Ypsilanti: 1994). Craw live is an experience I will never, ever forget. A drummer with an oxygen mask over his face because his drumming was so demanding (I don't think I've seen a better drummer live since then). A dread locked guitarist that looked like he had rabies. Crazy lights and a totally insane lead singer. I left that show terrified and freaked out of my mind. They couldn't finish the entire set. The drummer's arms gave out.
This is the sound of a nervous breakdown. And I think it's perfect for the days ahead when shit's about to get real crazy.

By god, that was a spooky ass show. Someone told me that Neil is teaching at some academy in Cleveland now. Do you still keep in touch with him?
