Album Notes

Crewman Number Six simply put is rock and funk grooves, grungy and bluesy progressions and melodies, with the timbre of metal. Introspective, connecting to their world, and ridiculous, Crewman Number Six comes from and speaks to the gut and believes in what they have to say.

These N.J. based rockers are reminiscent of everything from Kyuss to Prince. 'Nice To Meet You' is the debut full length album for Crewman Number Six.

"Nice to Meet You - A pleasingly moody'n'melodic serving of brooding pop-rock. The deep, hoarse and commanding vocals deliver the concise lyrics with a snappy rhythmic aplomb. The perfectly crunchy'n'punchy arrangements go heavy on the gritty grinding guitars, steady pounding drums, and fat churning basslines, creating a thick, pungent and atmospheric sound that really gets under your skin. Better still, there's a smart and engaging reflective aspect to the songwriting which in turn knocks the already fine quality of this album up a few extra notches. Moreover, these guys pour on the tasty funk with "Gone," score a beautifully tuneful bull's eye with the lovely "Rasa," and conclude things on a properly sober note with the poignant "Evil of Indifference." A very solid and satisfying album."

"I - as well as the many Crewman Number Six fans - would be treated to a hot, sweaty, powerhouse set of rock brilliance in celebration of their new CD release 'Nice to Meet You'. As they've evolved over the years, their progressive metal songs have injected more funk and blues - and seemingly more fun for the band.
Those who play music know that it's not enough to just make everyone else happy. If the music you make doesn't move you to do it again or to build on it or to change in some way, you will lose your grip on whatever muse got you there. It's what keeps the passion fresh and alive. And let's face it, those of us watching from the stands feed off the vibe of bands who love what they do.
And so, with every bellowed growl and crooned line comes the blistering riffs backed by a concrete foundation. Weaving thru it all is a message and if you're not careful, you might learn a thing or two. Or you can just set your shuttlecraft on autopilot and have a good time. Either way, you will be happy."
