Pure-bred rock ’n’ roll! The Great Crusades play it the way it was meant to be played: honest, direct, natural — and on Stark amps.

The Great Crusades were founded in Chicago by Brian Krumm (guitar/vocals), Brian Hunt (bass), Christian Moder (drums — played standing) and Brian Leach (keyboards/guitar/vocals). In 1997, their very first album (The First Spilled Drink of the Evening) drew attention to the band in the US and Europe. David Fricke praised the newcomers in Rolling Stone, and especially lead singer Brian: “Krumm is a favourite of Tom Waits and Axl Rose.”
