CRUNCH : STARTING OVER .....LIVE AT FIREFEST (DVD)

Emerging like a phoenix from the ashes of their former guise, the critically lauded and well-regarded melodic rock act Adriangale have reunited to form CRUNCH. The band features seminal vocalist Jamie Rowe (Guardian/Adriangale/London Calling), acclaimed guitarist/producer Vic Rivera (Adriangale/Poley-Rivera) and respected guitarist Eddie Campbell (Adriangale/Arabia). For the bassist slot, Crunch enlisted Doug Odell (formerly of Ice Age) to complete the newly-formed act.

“Adriangale never really had true closure,” says Vic Rivera (chief songwriter/principal architect of both Adriangale and Crunch). “This was due in no small part to our not having rights to continued usage of the name after the CRUNCH record was completed. Consequentially, as Adriangale’s music deserved to have a much broader audience than had previously afforded under our prior working conditions, Jamie, Eddie and myself always knew that there would be a time for us to reconvene when the right opportunity presented itself.”

Such an opportunity arose when the popular Firefest rock festival contacted Vic Rivera in November of 2006 to gauge interest in appearing at the 2007 line-up of that show. Chomping at the bit, Jamie, Vic, Ed and Doug (who had previously worked with Adriangale in the studio for the RE:PROGRAM record) were more than willing and able to participate. Though regrettably unable to secure the rights continue on as Adriangale, at the suggestion of FIREFEST a name change was proposed and immediately welcomed – thus, Crunch was born. For long standing fans of the band formerly known as AG , their live debut at Firefest was one of those moments that will live long in the memory. Cranking out a number of AG classics such as ‘Feel the Fire’ ‘Without a moments Notice’ ‘Reap what you Sow’ and the ultimate weekend rock and roll anthem ‘Closer’ (which judging by the audience reaction all 1700 people already knew the words!) CRUNCH proved that unlike their previous outfit they have a love of the stage and their performance reflected that.. Add to that the debut of a brand new track ‘Starting Over’ the title track of the limited edition E.P. released only at FIREFEST . Now ,when we say limited, we mean limited. There are only 500 copies of this E.P. in existence worldwide and FIREFEST have 300 copies which we and Crunch are giving away FREE ....YES ABSOLUTELY FREE to the first 300 people to purchase a copy of the STARTING OVER dvd,that is IN STOCK and available right now from the FIREFEST SHOP (www.thefirefest.com) and the shop at www.rocktopia.co.uk.
