Kreeps formed in New Orleans in the early 1990s, with Damon Matthews on vocals, John Williams on guitar, Brad Johnson on bass, and Mark Richards on drums. Their debut album 'Bad Voodoo' came out in 1995, featuring the title track that became their best-known song.
Their music drew from blues and rock with a dark, theatrical edge, evident in songs like 'Everyone I Went To School With Is Dead.' The band's live shows were known for chaotic energy, and they faced criticism for incorporating occult and voodoo themes into their lyrics and imagery.
They maintained a defiant stance toward that criticism while building a following around their heavy, atmospheric sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
