Croatan

Croatan is a noisy, abrasive, punk influenced substitute rock duo which has enjoyed a little underground following in the ’90s. Forceful and dissonant, Croatan’s tracks weren’t designed to charm to mainstream sensibilities — its music is certainly firmly for rock’s underground. Croatan was shaped in Cincinnati, OH in 1992, when vocalist/guitarist Jenny and drummer Tag (both of whom firmly passed their first brands) came jointly after having performed in various Cincinnati rings. Croatan never really had a bassist, but between Jenny’s screaming vocals and blistering guitar and Mark’s intense drumming, the group provides packed an extremely noisy punch. After playing live gigs for six years and placing out some singles, Croatan found the interest of Man’s Spoil Records and documented its first record, Violent Interest Surrogate, in 1998. Man’s Spoil released the record in January 1999. Curse from the Red Queen implemented in early 2001.
