Description:
In 2003, guitarist THE WES was caught five-fingering after-dinner mints from one of those shops your mama tyold ya never to visit, where a crazy bass player named RHOB happened to be checking for spare change in the quarter slots in the peep booths while some dude in the next booth (later found to be drummer BIG TWIG SMASH) was making rude noises (turns out he was there restoring the walls, being a former sheet rock dude and all, but that's a whole other story). Some fat-ass clerk called the police and the three were escorted off the property. As the cops dragged them away they stumbled over a slack-ass musican named TODD sitting on the ground playing a three string guitar with a rusty coffee can of pennies in front of him on the sidewalk.

After bribing the cops with a three day old Krispy Kreme, shouting "look a chicken!", ditching the cuffs, and hitting an ear splitting 6/5 metal chord to chase away anyone over 30 who has no groove, the four gave the world the finger and Blind Crisis was formed....

What? You want the truth?

Awful Racket Records Recording Artist Blind Crisis is a red hot act roaring out of the Piedmont area of North Carolina (Asheboro, NC) - that's foothills for all y'all flatlanders. With their hard drivin rock songs, Blind Crisis is redfining Rock and Roll. Their melodic yet hard driven soulful sound has already won them many fans and a record deal. Watch for the upcoming Blind Crisis CD Hot Little Box on Awful Racket Records (indie label) due out September 2006...


Band Members:
Todd Johnson, Lead Vocals and Guitars, is the new face of the return of true Rock. With emotion charged guitar, vocals and stage presence, his enthusiasm is infectious and always gets the crowd going. Todd Johnson is one of the best up and coming songwriters and performers out there in Rock today and provides a powerful focal point for Blind Crisis on stage.

Rhob Elliott, Backup Vocals and Bass, - veteran of popular regional acts out of Boston, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles and Florida delivers driving bass lines, powerful backing vocals in addition to being a complete monster songwriter. Rhob (No Nickname) Elliott songs and compositions have been performed and recorded by artists throughout the rock, country, pop, R & B, punk, metal and even symphonic genres to name a few. A Berklee College of Music Alumni (alma mater of many of the music industry's biggest names), he is a pro's pro - and about as down-to-earth and approachable as you get.

The Wes,, Guitars, the backbone. Mr. Wigglefingers personal guitarist, Wes (The Wes) Norman lays down no- nonsense hard, solid grooves and rhythms. His playing provides the foundation sound Blind Crisis builds on in live shows and recordings. Wes studied in the school of hard knocks under legendary regional rock guitarists, and brings that wealth of experience to every show, every song and every note.

Big Twig Smash, Drums & Percussion, the drumming monster and driving force behind many of the region's hottest acts is beating the hell out of the skins for Blind Crisis now. Twig first met Rhob when recording for local talent IZAC several years back, and then again with the amazing funk metal BusterKnut - . In true Wes fashion, Twig and Wes met jamming at local garage years ago. Finding him available, Twig was asked to step in after necessary changes left a vacancy behind the skins. Twig's drive, style and chops fit the Blind Crisis material and show perfectly and has really set things on fire. Twig's a little like Rumplestiltskin though - we're not allowed to say his real name and you'll have to buy him a JAGERMEISTER if you guess it.
