Sabbath Crow front man, singer, songwriter and guitarist J. Bybee takes the stage like a werewolf in heat and looking to kill, his scarred hands clawing at his guitar, striking unnamed chords and unconventional single note runs, while leading the bands' charge thru twisted progressions and changes that laugh in the face of traditional musical dogma. Stepping to the microphone, he sneers, howls, growls and spits out decadent tales or woe, misery and murder.
Bassist, Kristin "Crowfire" Bybee keeps the Sabbath Crow beast on a leash laying down a throbbing foundation that is unique and all her own and without comparison, driven beyond the edge of sanity yet steady as a grave digger during suicide season.
Rounding out the trio on drums, Ric "Senor" Furley hits the toms like it's dinner time at a Mau Mau family reunion. Shot gun blasts resonate from his snare as his whole kit rolls and churns with the boom and clank of a locomotive fighting to stay on the tracks.
At the end of the day, when all the posers are safely tucked away in bed, and only the lifers still prowl the dark underbelly of the outside world, Sabbath Crow is not the loudest, fastest, or heaviest monsters on the planet, but they are firmly rooted in that small percentage of true outlaw rock bands that do what they want without compromise.
They do not care of you like them or not, there are those who get it and those who don't.
Those that do? Well lets party, those that don't? Well...they can kindly fuck off.
What else do you need to know? Collectively, we've all played in and with a bunch of bands, made a bunch of albums, toured a bunch, blah, blah, blah. Who cares? Instead, come see Sabbath Crow live for a truly singular experience.
