Biography CRNKSHFT is an explosive band composed of five musicians from Vancouver, Canada. Their brand of rock is high in energy and it’s something you can notice when you see the band live and listen to their songs.

CRNKSHFT’s original sound is influenced by hardcore bands like Five Finger Death Punch and Korn. Grunge bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains, and metal bands such as Pantera and . That gives them a refreshing sound that’s forges these genres together. Their riffs are designed to get your blood pulsing, their dynamics get your fist pumping, and the melody keeps you singing along. CRNKSHFT prides itself on writing raw, emotional, music; that is transforming a genre that they themselves have branded “H.F.R.”(Hard Fucking Rock).

Between 2013 and 2014, CRNKSHFT recorded and released their first album « HFR ». In the summer of 2015, the band plays around Vancouver with a new line-up of musicians which will be the definitve line-up. The band then signed a deal with Rednyne Productions who brought the formation to a new level in the Vancouver music scene. In 2016, CRNKSHFT is asked to open for two bands who are on a world tour. Shortly after those two big shows, CRNKSHFT released their new single « Systematic » from their upcoming album ZFG (Zero Fucks Given) that will be available in the fall of 2016. This new album is produced by Darren Grahn who has worked with Metallica, Hedley, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and many more.

A few reviews "Like an ominous storm in the distance that's slowly moving towards you, Crnkshft's music hits you with such strong dynamics and power that it will knock the breath right out of you."

-Darren Grahn (Producer) « Wow wow WOW!!!!!!!This is amazing!!!! What a great track! It just ripped My face off »

-Sylvia Massy (producer for Tool, , )

« I have always said I wish I had "one of those tracks" under my belt. You know, the track that you could play for really anybody; a kid, a peer, a heavy musician, a producer, someone whom you'd like to impress for whatever reason, anybody... that is the track for me. Great writing, tons of energy, unapologetic, dynamics, intent, world class production, all parts are so strong, title and guitar hook so memorable. »

- Tony Ferraro (drummer for Trooper, Fear Zero,) about the Single « Systematic »

« Great band ! Sounds pretty heavy. Intro riff is killer ! »

-Cory Churko (guitar player for kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain) about the Single « Systematic »
