History
Formed in December 1994, 36 Crazyfists originate from Anchorage, Alaska. The band's original line-up consisted of vocalist Brock Lindow, guitarist Ryan Brownell, bassist JD Stuart and drummer Thomas Noonan. The band independently released two EPs and one LP before being signed. Their first EP Boss Buckle was released in 1995, followed by Suffer Tree in 1997 and finally their LP In the Skin which was also released in 1997. A demo disc was also recorded in 1999. Three out of four songs on this demo would later featured on their 2002 major label debut.
In order to break into the industry, the band moved from Alaska to Portland, Oregon after the death of their original bassist in a car accident. From here, they opened for such acts System of a Down, Primus, Blink-182 and NOFX. They eventually befriended metal band Skinlab, who landed their demo into the hands of A&R reps at Roadrunner Records.
Signed by Roadrunner Records in 2000, the band recorded their major debut album Bitterness the Star which was released on April 4, 2002. In support of its release, the band toured with such heavy weight acts as Candiria, God Forbid, Chimaira, Diecast and Hotwire. After touring the United States, they headed off to Europe to begin the European Road Rage Tour with Killswitch Engage and Five Pointe O.
The band reemerged two years later, on March 16, 2004 with their second album A Snow Capped Romance which was produced by James Paul Wisner (who also produced albums for bands like Dashboard Confessional and As Friends Rust). They toured intensely behind the record (playing shows with acts like Killswitch Engage and Poison the Well) through December, taking two months off before beginning the work on their next album.
36 Crazyfists entered the studio with producer Sal Villanueva (who'd worked with Thursday and Taking Back Sunday) in October, 2005 to commence recording, and the result, their third album Rest Inside the Flames was released across Europe on June 12, 2006. Ultimately, Roadrunner decided not to release the album in North America. A deal with DRT Entertainment was later struck, and the album received a belated release on November 7, 2006.
The album was a success in the UK, with Rest Inside the Flames debuting at #71 on the UK album charts, and reaching #2 in the BBC's Rock Album charts. However, the album only sold 1,858 copies in the US during its first week of release.
The band started an extensive UK tour, supported by Twelve Tribes on April 1, 2007, where they played at 26 venues across the country.
Vocalist Brock Lindow announced that a new record would be released in April 2008 on Ferret Music.
