Scrawl is an American indie rock band. The band were originally formed as Skull in 1984 in Athens, Ohio. After guitarist and vocalist Marcy Mays relocated to Columbus in 1985 and recruited bassist and backing vocalist Sue Harshe and drummer Carolyn O'Leary, the band changed to its current name in 1985. The band's have been recognized as an influence on (or at least a precursor to....) riot grrrl , although the band did not associate themselves with the term.
In 1987, Scrawl released its debut album Plus, Also Too, which earned the band a record deal with Rough Trade Records. The band released two albums with the label, He's Drunk (1988) and Smallmouth (1990), prior to the label's bankruptcy (after which they bought back their masters at auction). O'Leary left the band in 1992 and was replaced by Dana Marshall, who made his recording debut on Velvet Hammer (1993). The band moved to the major label Elektra Records for two albums, Travel On, Rider (1996) and Nature Film (1998), which were underpromoted by the label. Although they have not released any new material since Nature Film, Scrawl have continued to tour with drummer and former Gaunt guitarist Jovan Karcic, who has been with the band since 2007.
History
Formation and Rough Trade Records (1984–1990)
Scrawl were originally founded as Skull in Athens, Ohio. Its original lineup featured guitarist and vocalist Marcy Mays, bassist Jane Young and drummer Carla Sanseri. In 1984, Mays met Sue Harshe of No Amerika!, and they quickly became friends.[7] Both members were performing in hardcore bands at the time but did not contribute to the songwiritng "because we felt intimidated", according to Harshe.[8] After Mays relocated to Columbus in early 1985, Mays and Hashe both agreed to write songs and be "masters of [their] own domain".[8] Around this time, Skull were offered an opening slot for the Butthole Surfers by show promoter and School Kids and No Other Records owner Curt Scheiber.[9] Young was not interested, and Harshe subsequently joined the band as her replacement.[8] Prior to a show opening for the Meat Puppets in August 1985,[10][8] Skull changed its name to Scrawl and Sanseri was replaced by Carolyn O'Leary.[11] According to Harshe, the band thought that Skull "sound[ed] too heavy metal" and changed the name to Scraw "quite frankly because it rhymed with Skull."[8] The band quickly developed a following,[12][13] and embarked on its first tour in 1986, performing in the cities of Lexington, Kentucky, Tallahassee and Jackson, Mississippi.[8] Mays said that Scrawl did not expect themselves to be long-lived, telling the Chicago Tribune in 1990; "Everything for the next nine months [after the Meat Puppets show] was, 'Let's just do one more gig'. We never thought we'd be together one more month."[14]
In September 1986, Scrawl recorded its debut album, Plus Also Too.[10] The band recorded the album with the help of their friends for less than $500.[12] The album was through Scheiber's No Other Records label in May 1987, to positive reviews.[11][15] One of their friends sent a hundred copies of the album to various zines, newspapers and radio stations across the United States.[16] After Robert Christgau gave the album a favourable review in his "Consumer Guide" for The Village Voice, Scrawl received offers from Homestead Records, Twin/Tone Records and Rough Trade Records.[16] Following a performance for all three labels at CBGB in New York City—which Mays later recalled as "one of the worst" the band played—Scrawl signed to Rough Trade in March 1988.[15][17] In October of that year, the band finished recording their second album, He's Drunk, at Paisely Park Studios in Minneapolis.[18] Released in the winter of 1988,[10] the album had sold 4,000 copies by 1990.[19] To promote the album, Scrawl toured with Firehose.[13]
Scrawl worked with producer Gary Smith on their third album Smallmouth, which was released in March 1990 OR APRIL??. they supported smallmouth with touring of the West Coast of the United States in June. https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/CMJ/1990/CMJ-New-Music-Report-1990-06-22.pdf
supported Smallmouth by touring with the Afghan Whigs.[10](better source needed)
Following abortive negotations with the label over their fourth album and the release of a four-song promotional extended play of covers recorded by Steve Albini,[20][15] Scrawl parted ways with Rough Trade in the autumn of 1990.[11] A few months thereafter, the label went bankrupt and Scrawl's back catalog subsequently went out of print.[11] The band were forced to bid for their master tapes back at public auction.[20]
Simple Machines Records and Velvet Hammer (1991–1995)
In January and April 1991, the band recorded an extended play with Steve Albini, Bloodsucker.[10] it was released on the Feel Good All Over Records. According to Jason Ankey of AllMusic, the EP "is clearly informed by the group's troubled experiences in the music business". Regarding its cover artwork, the liner notes state that "any resemblance to music industry executives is purely coincidental."[21] Although it suffered from poor distribution,[11] the EP received strong reviews and was ranked ninth on the 1991 Pazz & Jop poll for extended plays, tying with releases from Dinosaur Jr. and Prisonshake.[22][15] Around the time of its release, the band played shows with the Afghan Whigs and My Bloody Valentine. (SOURCES??)
In May 1992, O'Leary left Scrawl.[15] The following month, the band released the 7" single "Misery (Someone Is Winning) / Just Plain Bad",[13] before embarking on the "Foxcore, My Ass" tour as an acoustic duo.[11] According to The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, the tour's name highlighted Scrawl's deep suspicions towards the riot grrrl movement that the band had begun to be associated with.[13] By the end of 1992, the band had recruited Dana Marshall as their new drummer and signed with Simple Machines Records and Southern Records (for the UK).[13]

In January 1993, Scrawl worked with Albini again for the recording of Velvet Hammer, which was released in November 1993.
in 1993 inaugurated the empty bottle in Chicago illinois[23]
In 1994, the band performed at the Reading Festival in the United Kingdom.[24]

contributed song to label compilation.
Elektra Records, Travel on Rider and Nature Film (1996–1999)
In 1996, Scrawl were signed to Elektra Records by A&R rep Terry Tolkin.[25] The band's signing took place amidst major label signing spree of Columbus bands in the mid-1990s, including Royal Crescent Mob, the Toll and Watershed, that was later dubbed the "Columbus Curse" due to their shared collective fates.[26]
To the band's dismay, Elektra did not promote the album, and it only sold 2,500 copies by 1998.
Nature Film. they recorded half new half old purely because they knew elektra didn't care.
Six weeks after the album's release, Elektra dropped Scrawl from its roster. In response, the band launched a uh.. mailing campaign with its fans. (CMJ)
David Martin of the Cleveland Scene associated Scrawl with the "Columbus Curse" of bands from the city signed to major labels, including Royal Crescent Mob, the Toll and Watershed, that were soon dropped.[26]
When the band told the crowd at a show at Middle East, a fan told the band not to worry, as "half the people in this room have been dropped by major labels."https://archive.org/details/sim_boston-phoenix_july-31-august-06-1998_27_31/page/14/mode/2up?q=scrawl+%22marcy+mays%22
Shortly therafter, the band were forced to cancel a planned summer tour after Mays broke her collarbone in a biking accident (chicago reader)
Subsequent activities (2000–present)
On March 16, 2000, Scrawl played their final show with Dana Marshall, who relocated to Sweden thereafter.[27] In early 2001, Scrawl played a few shows as a duo, with Mays and Harshe handling keyboards in the absence of a drummer.[28][29][30]
https://cringe.com/issues/10.1/lowdown.shtml
the band played some shows in spring 2001
Although Scrawl have not released any new material since Nature Film, the band have continued to perform shows and rehearse together. https://web.archive.org/web/20010721161208/http://www.scrawl.net:80/
By 2001, Scrawl had been reduced to a due, with Mays and Harshe duelling on Keyboards due to lack of drummer.
In 2007, Scrawl reformed with drummer Jovan Karcic.[31]
In a 2023 interview with Matter News, Mays revealed that Scrawl had begun producing new instrumentals together since the summer with the intention of finally releasing a new album, though said they have no deadlines.[32]
Musical style, influences and legacy
Scrawl have been described as indie rock,[33][34] post-punk[26] and indie pop. (bostphonenix aug698) uhhhh
The band's first two albums, Plus, Also, Too and He's Drunk, have been described as indie pop.[34][11]
The band's influences include Cheap Trick, Paula Abdul,[35] the Meat Puppets and Wire.[14]
Abdul's "Cold Hearted Snake" on Bloodsucker.[35]
In an 1990 interview, Mays said that Scrawl's songs were, "If not feminist, [...] definitely feminine."[36]
"Charles" is a parody of "Beth" by Kiss,[36] whilst "Louis L'Amour" parodies aerosmith???? (proquest 1996)
Relationship with riot grrrl
https://archive.org/details/sim_boston-phoenix_january-7-13-1994_23_1/page/19/mode/1up?q=%22scrawl%22+%22plus+also+too%22 "one of the first mentioned" in association to it.
Scrawl have been associated with the riot grrrl movement of the early-to-mid 1990s, with some considering the band an an influence or a precursor to it.
In 1992, Cathy Hainer of USA Today wrote that the band " have been called 'the spiritual grandmothers' of the girl-grunge movement."[35]
Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian reffered to the band as the "founding mothers" of the movement in a 1993 review of Bloodsucker. Chuck Eddy considered Scrawl to be "ahead of its time" in a 2009 listicle covering the "100 Greatest Bands You've (Probably) Never Heard" for Spin, describing the band as "the lone antidote to guitar-rock Guyville" in the late 1980s before the appearence of riot grrrl.[37] Andrew Earles wrote that Scrawl were "pertually associated" with the movement and that they were "feminist by default" at their formating as an all-female trio.
However, Scrawl did not associate themselves with the term, with
Despite this, Scrawl disliked with riot grrrl; in 1993, they went as far as to embark on the "Foxcore, My Ass" tour.
(or, in antiquated terms, foxcore lmao)
In an 1999 interview with the Cleveland Scene, Harse described the band's association with riot grrrl as w"very bizarre" and "a joke"
https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Gavin-Report/90/93/Gavin-1993-12-03.pdf (on the girl band phenomenom)
Kathleen Hanna cited Scrawl as an influence on Bikini Kill,[38] whilst Tsumani guitarist Jenny Toomey called them an "enormous influence on what we did and how we did it."[39] Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs is a longtime fan of the band; after seeing them for the first time during their tours in support of Plus, Also, Too, the Afghan Whigs began covering "Green Beer".[40] The band would later enlist Mays to provide vocals for "My Curse", from their fourth studio album Gentlemen (1993), and "Domino and Jimmy" from How Do You Burn? (2022).[41]

Karyn Crisis' Gospel of the Witches (GOTW) is an American-Italian heavy metal band. The band was formed in Tuscany in 2009, when former Crisis vocalist Karyn Crisis began working with Ephel Duath instrumentalist Davide Tiso on a planned solo album for the Karyn Crisis Band. After the project fell apart, Karyn and Tiso relocated to San Francisco and continued working on material together before launching Gospel of The Witches in early 2014.
The band's lyrics based on witches and spiritual stuff, i guess.
Gospel of The Witches' first album, Salem's Wounds (2015), was funded through Kickstarter and Indiegogo and released by Century Media Records. The band supported its release with a few live performances with Ross Dolan, Danny Walker, Mike Hill and Charlie Schmid. In 2019, they released its second album, Covenant, through Aural Music, featuring drummer Fabian Vestod. Gospel of The Witches is currently on hold owing to Karyn's health struggles since 2022, although songs for its third album have been prepared.

Like Sheep Led to Slaughter is the fourth and final studio album by American heavy metal band Crisis, released on May 25, 2004, through The End and Children of Rage Records. Produced and recorded by Billy Anderson at Desert Moon Studios in Anaheim, California, it was the band's first album in seven years and only release as a quintet, featuring second guitarist Jwyanza Hobson and drummer Josh Florian. Featuring an experimental metalcore sound, the album saw Crisis foray into more melodic stuff, eastern elements??? etc. idk
Vocalist Karyn Crisis' lyrics focussing more on real world topics, including, war, control, abuse of power, fake histories, and rape.
Like Sheep Led to Slaughter received generally positive reviews from critics, whom praised its (....) and Karyn's vocal performance. To promote the album, Crisis filmed music videos for "Blood Burden" and "Waking the Dead" and initially toured with Soulfly and Ill Niño before embarking on the Metal Movement tour with Kittie and Otep in 2004. Prior to the latter tour, Florian ruptured his appendix, forcing the band to search for a replacement; in February 2005, he was permanently replaced by Justin Arman. After further touring with M.O.D., Jacknife and Exodus, Crisis entered an indefinite hiatus in May 2006.
Background and recording
Shortly the release of its third album The Hollowing (1997), Crisis split from its record label Metal Blade Records owing to a lack of support. The band still played and all but didn't feel like they were getting the support they needed from east coast labels, so in 2000, they moved to Los Angeles.
In December 2002, Crisis reverted back to its original name and recruited Marshall Patric, formerly of Today is the Day, as their new drummer.
Like Sheep to Slaughter was recorded over two separate recording windows, from September 11 to 20, 2003, and January 21 to 26, 2004. Crisis self-financed much of the album's recording, as they were without a label until their signing with The End Records in December 2003.
Crisis had not played with Florian prior to the album's recording session. (metal maniacs)
The album's recording was recorded and documented by Dominick Garza, a former roadie, filmed the recording of Like Sheep Led to Slaughter and conducted interviews with the band and Anderson for a planned DVD release, Signatures of Survival. (pivotal rage) Originally due for release in 2005, The End Records it was delayed its release to 2006; the announcement of the band's hiatus that year left its fate uncertain.
Composition
Music
Like Sheep to Slaughter has been described as difficult to categorize musically, with Crisis alternating between styles and direction throughout its tracks.[9] Gregg Pratt of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles described the album as a "schizophrenic smorgasbord of sounds", mixing "gloomy, metallic hardcore and dark, twisted, mind-bending apocalyptic Neurosis art metal." The album utilizes non-traditional song structures,(allmusic)
the album
eastern elements too???? yes
Compared to Crisis' previous albums, the lyrics are less introspective, focussing on real world topics such as war, control, abuse of power, fake histories. Pratt described the lyrics as "no-hope poetry mixed in with a bit of social commentary".
"Secrets Of The Prison House" and "Exit Catacombs" were both noted for their
Lyrics
"A Graveyard for Bitches" is about rape and the idea of the "body as a weapon".(ewe turn/terrorizer)
Release and promotion
Crisis announced the release of Like Sheep Led to Slaughter. The album was released in the United States by The End and Children of Rage Records on May 25, 2004. Blackend Records released the album internationally in June 28, 2004. Germany was Soulfood Records??? idk.
In April 2004, Crisis performed various shows in New York. From July 30 to September 17, 2004, the band embarked on a tour of the United States as support for Soulfly and Ill Niño. The tour was beset by numerous problems, with Crisis' van breaking down several times and their trailer of gear being stolen; Nasirudeen said they enjoyed the tour nonetheless.(pivotalrage, hvscene?) From September 27 to November 10, 2004, the band embarked on the Metal Movement Tour, which they co-headlined with Kittie and Otep. Two days before the tour's start, Florian "busted his appendix" and had to have emergency surgery, forcing Crisis were forced to search for a replacement. In a 2005 interview with TheHVScene, Karyn said that the band decided to move on without Florian as he could not handle the stress of touring. Founding drummer Fred Waring III returned to Crisis for the tour. Although due to time constraints they could not teach him any of their new songs for the tour, Nasiruddeen reasoned that their old songs appeared "brand new to [the tour's audiences] anyway".(pvtr)
