Crooked Man Releases Debut Digital EP

Finally, we are just days away from the release date of Crooked Mans debut EP. The band was formed by Candiria Guitar player John LaMacchia and includes Bassist Michael Shaw, Drummer Wayne Daren Schneiderman and Vocalist/Keyboard Player Sabrina Ellie.
The four song EP includes titles such as Severed heads, The parting Gift and Crucifer and was recorded by Brooklyn based engineer and producer Andrew Schneider. The BBC style vibe of the Coextinction Recording Series gives this EP a somewhat live and raw feel. A perfect match for the song writing style. Please check out the Coextinction site at www.coextinction.com
This is the only place this digital EP will be available and it will only be available for download for $2.99. Now thats a pretty good deal!!
