Fate laid the seeds of Crop Killer when Lorin met Derek in a "band" after moving to Phoenix. Lorin didn't last long in that project, and apparently neither did Derek, and a year or so later, Lorin got a text from him saying something along the lines of "Hey man, I'm starting something with some friends of mine & we need a bass player. It's punk shit. Interested?" The initial jams went well enough and Crop Killer was born. It was a 5 piece at first. Two guitar players. Lorin doesn't remember the name of the guy who quit, but he obviously wasn't into it. He never learned any parts. No biggie, it was noisy enough. And Daniel was actually a pretty good singer, which is evident if you listen to his vocals on our first "album." That was pretty much a rush job, recorded in 4 hours for less than $200. Then Daniel decided to move to Austin, ending phase one. (continued...)
