CRISPIN WAH

BIO

I grew up a complete guitar/music geek. Featured in Mike Varney’s Spotlight Column in Guitar Player Magazine (August 2005). Went to Berklee College of Music in 2005 on scholarship, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Professional Music.Played in Boston based rock outfit RIBS from 2009-2012. In 2012 I made my exit from playing rock music into getting weird with my guitar and pedals. Enter Monochome Sweatsuit. In 2013 I won Steve Vai’s Best In Shred guitar contest for Atlanta, opening up for Vai in Chattanooga, TN. Around this time I began doing session work in Atlanta’s hip hop studio scene. Through this period two projects were formed in addition to Monochrome Sweatsuit solo Material. See Crispin Wah, Armadillo.

CRISPIN WAH's first single "SPLAT" from upcoming album Lemon Pepper.

VIDEO PREMIERE: CRISPIN WAH – “SPLAT”

We’ve been waiting for self-declared “shredgaze” maniacs Crispin Wah to follow up their two-part Mineral Mountain debut for well over a year, and now that the Atlanta five-piece have asked us to share the upcoming LP’s bonkers first single and video, let’s just say that we’re eagerly anticipating the full release.

MAKING LISTENER-FRIENDLY MUSIC, FOR A CHANGE: A CONVERSATION WITH CRISPIN WAH

Trying to pin a label on Atlanta’s Crispin Wah is pretty futile. You can surmise their brand of instrumental rock as psychedelic, but even that is just a characterization of the temporal-fold-shift feeling that resonates from guitarist Monochrome Sweatsuit and Se’nam Palmer’s loops sounding like anything but guitars.
