Crash began writing and producing music at his uncle’s recording studio, while Adams learned guitar and became a master at his craft. They started making music together ever since! Over the last year and a half, Crash Adams has been producing, and curating their sound: nostalgic, inspired, and a bit of humour as they reveal a new chapter in their ridiculous story.
