Crocus started early summer 2007, unsatisfied with former projects, they decided to quicken the pace, up the beats and pour every last drop of honesty and emotion they have into what can now be called Crocus. With ethics and values as important to the band members as the sound itself, they are all about honest expression, self-exploration and integrity. They combine elements of 90's screamo and power violence, and are an amazing live band.
