36 Crazyfists

36 Crazyfists are a four-piece metal band originating from Kenai, Alaska. Formed in December 1994, 36 Crazyfists originate from Anchorage, Alaska. The band independently released two EPs and one LP before being signed and a demo disc was also recorded in 1999. In order to break into the industry, the band moved from Alaska to Portland, Oregon after the death of their original bassist in a car accident. From here, they opened for such acts System of a Down, Primus, Blink-182 and NOFX. They eventually befriended metal band Skinlab, who landed their demo into the hands of A&R reps at Roadrunner Records.

The band’s name comes from a Jackie Chan movie, The 36 Crazy Fists. They have released five albums, In the Skin, Bitterness the Star, A Snow Capped Romance, Rest Inside the Flames, and their fifth The Tide And Its Takers was released on May 27, 2008. They always return to Alaska to play at the annual Summer Meltdown Festival in Anchorage, Alaska. With one exception being the 2008 Summer Meltdown, in which they could not attend due to their tour with the First Annual Rockstar Mayhem Festival.
