CRINGE has established a sound that permeates its genre, incorporating a churning groove of grind-core, infectious melody, and aggression. CRINGE prides itself on delivering a tight, high-energy show. The band performs even the smallest of shows with arena level energy, proving that they are ready to deliver on a grand scale. CRINGE is: Pete Waimrin ~ Vocals and Guitars John Seffker ~ Bass and Vocals Matt Rindy ~ Guitars and Vocals Izak Frederick ~ Drums The band originated in 1998 when Pete enlisted a few friends/drummers, one being Tommy Stewart formerly of the band GODSMACK, to record an EP. They recorded nine songs and launched CRINGE. The project has since flourished into a powerful team of players. Each one brings his own soul into the music: Pete‚s aggressive melody and riffs, John‚s heavy hand and knack for the unconventional, Matt‚ soulful yet driving style, and Izak's solid, hard-hitting grooves. Together their diverse talents form one powerful machine of contagious energy CRINGE performs at premier Los Angeles clubs including House of Blues, The Viper Room, and The El Rey Theatre. Additional venues in Orange, Riverside, and Ventura Counties as well as in Las Vegas and San Diego are among the locations where you can expect to experience CRINGE. CRINGE concentrates on "grass roots" and guerilla promotion. You will see them flying banners and handing out promotional gear at festivals and shows or just on the streets.
