The saga of CRAVING begins in cold Stuttgard rain and ends up in your entrails. Vocalist Gaston Cravinkel, Guitarist Alex Cravinkel, Drummer Ralf Cravinkel and bassist Haluk Cravinkel kept on moving thruout Germany and seem to finally have found a home in Bonn, Koeln as well as Stuttgart & Tuebingen. After releasing two split 7”s, two 7”’s (one of which was “comparable traces” on scenepolice-027) one 10”, two CD’s (of which one was an LP as well) and another LP (their debut) and 10 years of existance they have come to know eachother pretty well.
“fans will shit their pants” is solid evidence that CRAVING has evolved into one of the most visceral, compelling and necessary bands in Europe. This album is the culmination of hard times and the love of labour. It is more textured, precise, and surreal than their previous ventures, but combined all the pain, all the sex, and all the power of it's predecessors to take the band even further into uncharted musical territory.
Other bands will give you an amazing liveset. Then there's CRAVING. They're not meant to suck... they're meant to wake you from your Pommes Ring/Emo-bollocks coma, take you by the hand and lead you into anaphylactic Son of Sam shock. Frontman Gaston Cravinkel will scare you and you will like it!! He grunts, squeels, screams and stomps around the stage like the mad man that he is, delivering rather frightening yet very emotive lyrics. He comes off like a (to borrow a line from Dazed and Confused) "male dominate monkey motherfucker" -- and my, does he ever do it well.
CRAVING’s new album is a lot more laid back than their previous releases yet it will rock the hell out of you! Fans like to call them the german answer to Jesus Lizard and with this new DoLP/CD they will definetly shit their pants!!!
