KRANG
FOR FANS OF: STRIKE ANYWHERE, NO TRIGGER, DESCENDENT'S, MILLENCOLIN
Krang was founded at the end of December 2014 in the Czech Republic by four friends who also play in other bands. As a "fun" side project, they tried to play 90s skatepunk such as Millencolin, Descendents, and Bad Religion. In early 2015, they recorded a four-song EP called "OK USA!" All the lyrics were funny and about their favorite movies with actors like Steven Seagal or Top Gun. The EP was a big success, and the band shot the video for the song "OK USA!" (about the movie Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme), and even JCVD himself shared the video on Facebook Right after they started working on a full-length album, BADDEST BRAIN, it was recorded in late 2015 and released by Bird Attack Records. In 2016, they toured Mexico and Central America, which was a huge success. In May 2017, they toured Israel and Japan in July. They recorded the album Singalong. The lyrics include comedy, referencing comic books and movies, but also contain a social message that addresses some serious issues we are experiencing today. In September 2018, KRANG had a successful tour in the USA, and in spring 2019, they were chosen as the main support for the European tour of Israeli punk rock legends USELESS ID!
In 2021, the band released a new album called MAKE ARCADE GREAT AGAIN on SBAM RECORDS in Europe and SOUNDSPEED RECORDS in the USA. The album was a huge success and sold out in six months. In the summer of 2022, Krang reunited with Useless ID and toured Europe with the almighty THE DESCENDENTS.
