Five players, one shell. All hail the Crustnation.
Lead Vocalist
Smug, arrogant, and energetic, Jimmy fronts CRAB with divisive lyrics and a commanding, sarcastic and almost sultry presence. An occasional guitarist and saxophonist, he’s the band’s primary lyricist and leader. A background in lounge and gospel singing gives him a smooth delivery and on-point pitch that elevates every performance to its boiling point.

Lead Guitar
Drawing inspiration from the Seattle grunge revolution, Liam delivers intricate, melodic verse and chorus lines punctuated by frantic solos. CRAB’s sound came into its true form when he joined in 2022, and he’s written the melodies and riffs for the vast majority of the band’s most successful original tracks.
Listens to Soundgarden · Alice in Chains · RHCP
Bass Guitar
Pure, calculated chaos and consistent energy pulse from the band’s core and low end. Bringing more heat to the stage than many frontmen, his focused stage presence is matched only by the intensity of his creative basslines. A talented songwriter too, the band’s thrashiest music often starts with his assertion that “it could be more punk.”
Listens to Black Sabbath · Sex Pistols · Jack White
Vocals · Keyboard
An offbeat and bohemian mashup artist and musical factotum. Classical training on piano and the ability to flawlessly switch between raw, unhinged vocals and dreamlike harmonies. Douglas is the band’s multitool, attacking traditional structure during songwriting and keeping new tracks fresh with an encyclopedic knowledge of music across decades and genres.
Listens to Streetlight Manifesto · Honest Bob · The Beatles
Drums
A lifelong percussionist with decades of training and a passion for perfection. Connor deploys laser-sharp skills with precise, powerful fills as he holds the line and tempo. A professional rudimentary and marching percussionist (UW Husky Marching Band, the Seahawks Blue Thunder, and Columbians Drum & Bugle Corps), he’s the most technically trained member of the group.
