Crud in Detroit: It's a Band, Not a Mess

Crud may be just another word for dirt, filth or refuse. But wait, better yet, Crud is a Kick Ass Rock Band from Detroit, Michigan. According to their MySpace bio at myspace.com/cruddetroit, which I think says it best; Crud is "Super-charged sex rock complete with gas masks, bikinis and blood". Sounds naughty!

Crud features Vin E. (from Michigan’s own Sponge) on vocals, David Black (from the legendary SEDUCE) on guitar, Jimmy Paluzzi (The Fags) on drums, and Dana Forrester (from killer Detroit band 60 Second Crush) on bass. Danielle Arsenault (former Stun Gun) provides vocals and works as Vin's co-anchor.

DIRT- (aka where CRUD began)
"Crud has had two incarnations - the first around 2001 when Vin first put together the band... then he took a break to focus on Sponge... but fan demand was so strong for CRUD - we literally were getting dozens of emails a day - that Vin resurrected the band with a new line up in 2005...so a year for this line up which includes me - Dana Forrester on bass and the legendary David Black on guitar as the new additions"

FILTH- (aka where CRUD is at)
"Since Crud is the perfect soundtrack for turbo charged, attention blasting TV -music supervisors have actually tracked us down to use Crud. We also made some great connections at the Motor City Music Conference, which lead to the CSI stuff [their music was featured on the popular crime show]. The exposure on TV has been fantastic - you can't beat having millions of viewers HEAR your stuff...we get emails from fans all the time thrilled to hear Crud on CSI, MTV, VH1, Degrassi and more! Radio is starting to follow TV's lead now, too, which is pretty cool."

"We have a really fanatical following - people are really into Crud - and number wise - it's growing everyday - especially with Myspace.com [MySpace is a community website, “a place for friends”] - we're getting hundreds of adds every week from Crud fans all over the world"!

REFUSE- (aka don't throw CRUD away!)
"We're lining up national tour dates right now - hopefully a leg with Ministry...we'd also like to tour Europe and be a part of Ozzfest in 2007".
