Since forming in London in 2006 where they recorded
their debut album “This City Needs a Hero”, with
Grammy nominated team Colin Richardson and Matt
Hyde, CrashCarBurn have been dominating the local
airwaves of their home country South Africa. Armed
with an arsenal of powerful rock anthems
CrashCarBurn was set to impressed audiences from the
word go.
It wasn't long before CrashCarBurn's first single
“Serenade” was topping national radio stations like
5fm (voted song of the year 2007 on the high 5 at 5)
as well as campus stations across the country.
Polished videos and spontaneous live shows saw the
band selected to play alongside international acts
Korn, 30 Seconds to Mars, Good Charlotte and Muse at
“My Coke fest 2008”. Following up with hit singles
like “Heroes” and the anthemic sing-along favourite
“Get Away”’, CrashCarBurn quickly solidified their
place in the SA music scene.
