Bio

In 2006 Jon Bishop began writing and recording a refreshing style of music with Bryan Stratman at Capricorn Studios in downtown San Diego. This music had a different feel, still with that familiar hook, but with a new depth. Soon John and Bryan knew this creative energy was not to be ignored and Crash Encore was born. Guitarist TJ Royer, Jackson Price, a master of bass, vocals and flute and drummer Mike Cooper currently complete this dynamic puzzle.

As a follow up to their debut album, Volume I, Crash Encore is defying convention and releasing free songs all of 2009 at crashencore.com.

When not in the studio Crash Encore can be seen performing live at venues such as the Casbah, Anthology, the Belly Up, and The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas. The band has also appeared on NBC's Concerts in the Square, several local and national radio stations, and was nominated for San Diego Music Award's "Best New Artist" in 2007.

"The first time I heard Crash Encore I was immediately hooked. It's everything I want from my music - hooks and melody - something you can hum along to or sing out loud!" -Tim Pyles, FM94/9 San Diego

"I already liked the sound of the odd instrumentation from the very first note. Good on ya for being musically adventurous- god knows we need musical adventure in our life. It may take you awhile longer to get into the main stream because you are working on original sounds- but in the end you will stand out. The music was playful and friendly." -Perry Farrell on MusicNation.com
