The Crew

Also, straight from the band:

The Crew has just recently been recognized in the local scene of Twinsburg. That’s probably because the band wasn’t formed until recently (in March of this year to be exact). The band started of as the duo of Kyle Fadeley (Guitar) and rapper Michael Stover (aka Sto aka Defender of the Art). The two wanted to perform at the Coffee For A Cause charity event at the Twinsburg Library in March of 2009. Kyle had been in several bands before and Michael had been rapping for almost a year. Second rapper Brandon Ivey (aka Master B) came along to give the duo that extra edge with his no holds bar lyrics. However the band was still missing a drummer, this is where Drummer/DJ/Keyboardist Alex Kloss came in and pulled all the members together to make that would change music forever. Alex Kloss has a lot of talent making beats using Ableton and is a DJ that can make very nice sounding cuts. Combining rock and hip hop with lyrics that will make the crowd think the Crew is a band that wants to change music. The Crew have one song “The Crew Debuts” which they performed at Coffee for A Cause. The beat to that was created by Michael had a strong resemblance to The White Stripes song “Black Math” even though Michael had never heard the song in his life. The song ended up being a hit so The Crew happily (I mean very happily) accepted the invitation to play at Twinstock. The Crew’s sound varies, they can do hard-core rap, hard-core rock and everything in between the key is don’t get this band confused with Linkin Park or Hollywood Undead they sound nothing like either of those bands, The Crew have their own unique sound that all music fans will enjoy. The key to The Crew’s sound is the lyrics they use in their songs. Both rappers Brandon and Michael hate mainstream rap (which is evident in their music) and their trying to change people’s stereotypes of rap by having a more positive sound. Michael is actually a Christian Rapper and Brandon takes a more underground approach to his lyrics. The Crew intends to unveil six new tracks at Twinstock.
