| Biography: | What a wild ride for a band to have. It started back in the summer of '06 while Jeff and Greg were working at a summer camp together. Jeff mentioned how he was going to go write a song after work, and Greg said something along the lines of how they should start recording. Well... they did. Picking up the guitar and piano, both of them sat down and banged out two songs. The recording, however, was a little more tedious than the writing. However, almost every weekend that summer, Jeff and Greg got together and recorded a bunch of music. Also at that time, Jeff started writing with their mutual friend, Tina. The three of them never actually met during the summer for any recording, but between the three of them put out over twelve songs. They picked up the name of Uneven Ground, a play on words from one of the songs Jeff had lyrics for, but no music. In October of '06, Tina had an aneurysm. Writing went on the back-burner as they all focused on Tina and her recovery. It was during this time that Greg stated that the name "Uneven Ground" would not come back until Tina came back to sing with the band. Because of the distance between Jeff and Greg, they went to school on opposite ends of the state, Jeff started writing a lot on his own. He picked up the name of "Nightside," a play on words from his college radio station. Currently, Greg is in Russia, and Jeff is at school, using weekends to blast out a CD. Tina is recovering very well, and seems to be on the fast track to coming back to sing with the group. |

| Biography: | It’s been a “Short And Sweet” 12 years since three barnyard hooligans known as the MCRACKINS were hatched onto the international punk scene with the release of their official debut full-length album “What Came First?” on Shredder Records in the U.S.A. Although many were at first skeptical of Vancouver, Canada’s mysterious and strange looking pop-punk trio, the 1995 album turned out to be a surprise hit from an unknown band who claimed to have been transformed from men to 2 eggs and a dog and given super pop-punk powers as the result of a freak nuclear accident. Since then, twin eggs Bil (guitar,vocals), Fil (bass) and dog Spot (drums) have continued to amaze, astound and win over music critics and fans alike while building a cult-like following around the world due to the prolific release of 11 great full-length albums,E.P’s, singles, and compilation cd’s too numerous to mention. All told over 100,000 in sales worldwide. It is a well-known joke (or yolk if you will) that their discography reads like the rap sheet of a seasoned criminal, as they have had over 200 songs released by over 30 different record labels around the planet as approximately 70 separate releases. With sporadic touring throughout their native Canada and the U.S.A up until that point, 1996 saw the band take their hilarious and fun filled live show across the pond to Europe. Dubbed the “European Eggvasion”, the MCRACKINS destroyed 7 countries and even found time to record some live electric and acoustic sessions for the BBC. The years have also seen the band make a few music videos, which have received light to medium rotation on music channels in Canada, U.S.A and Europe, an appearance in a Molson Canadian beer television commercial, a cameo role in a feature motion picture “Downhill Willy”, and various television and radio features. Although the band has been taking somewhat of a much-needed break from the recording studio over the last few years, they have decided to get “Back To The Crack” with a vengeance. In true MCRACKINS fashion, the band have been hard at work in the studio since October 2004 and have just finished what they have self described as a world class bubblepunk masterpiece of epic proportions. With over 14 months and countless hours invested in this opus, it promises to not disappoint. Their 12th cd which will be called “Bat Out Of Shell”, will be released worldwide later this year by the fine folks at Wynona Records, Italy and will contain 12 new ear buzzin toons with enough hooks and harmonies to make even Brian Wilson smile. A full European tour will follow in Jan/Feb 2007 in support. So “Get Crackin” the MCRACKINS are back!!!!!!!!!! |
