Hailing
from the Bay area of Northern California, comes
4 guy's from Santa Rosa with a new perspective on the world of
Rock and Metal. Ben Schallert
and fellow rock drummer Josh Sendejas
were looking to put a new twist on rock and metal, with a sonic realism
that embraces the soul of what music means to them as a band.
Playing 5 string Bass, Ronnie Hart
brings the foundation of this
project together, with high energy dynamics on his bottom end finger
styling. Our newest addition, shoring up this hard driving rock band
and solidifying the melodic guitar styles, Norm Anderson brings the
finishing touches to complete the Krawl
sound.
Ben Schallert Grew up in a family
saturated in musical talent. He was led into his passion, guitar. In
music he was able to find his release. By age 15, he got serious at
guitar when he and some high school friends started jamming. After
years of jamming in his room practicing his chops for hours on end he
started looking for some serious musicians who had drive and wanted to
create music as bad as he did.
Josh Sendejas started off at the age
of
six, beating pots and pans with wooden spoons. In 1986 Josh begun his
drum training with Chris Hampton
as his teacher. At the age of ten Josh
joined the school band and after three years he had progressed beyond
the rest of the band. After years of playing in small bands and
practicing to the radio he was eager to find a hard driving rock band
that would quench his longing of music. In July of 2004, Josh was
introduced to a few guys that were trying to get a serious band
together.
Raised
in Sonoma County Ronnie Hart
was
trained professionally on multiple musical instruments. Ronnie first
got the idea to pick up the bass when his brother Ben Schallert started
playing his guitar. Learning to play the bass came over time while
playing with other musicians and a self dedication to his music.
Norm
Anderson was inspired at a young age
to become a thriving musician. With a dad who was a part time musician,
Norm became exposed to many genres of music. Finally, after many years
of experimenting with different instruments, he found what seemed
perfect for him. Guitar was now the instrument of choice and thus
sparked an ongoing passion for shredding. Norm is the newest member to
the rock band Krawl.
