We kick off with a true pioneer- Karyn Crisis. Karyn proved that a woman can front a heavy band and deliver hardcore meets metal vocals with the best of them. Who better to kick this special off? A few weeks ago we sadly learned that Crisis had decided to take an indefinite hiatus after 12 years and 4 killer 'genre defying' albums. So this may very well be the very last Crisis interview. Here is a little of what Karyn told Morley:
And you know, Crisis always wanted to do a lot of big things, but the industry was always just like "no you're too extreme, no, you're too weird, no, you have a woman singer." And of course as we've seen along the way, labels have literally, like you know how the Backstreet Boys were formed�put together a lot of female-fronted bands in our image so they didn't necessarily want to take a gamble on what WE were doing because that was something they couldn't quite understand. But they finally came around to the idea of the concept that a female-fronted band was a good thing. But you know these people control a lot of your fate and unfortunately the industry never really backed up Crisis. We were like a thorn in everybody's side, except for The End Records, which was an amazing label. But in terms of getting Crisis to a bigger level, we were more of a thorn in everyone's side because we were so different, and so unique. We just refused to be fake and stylish for the sake of selling records so, I have absolutely no regrets with the way the band has done...you know we've done everything with our sense of integrity. I wish we could have done a lot more but that was not in our control. [click the full story link to read the entire Interview]
