About Crank – professional Pop Punk band based in London, UK
Crank are a London pop punk band who do exactly one thing: turn whatever room they're in into a sweaty, loud, brilliant mess.
The concept is straightforward. Take the songs everyone already knows and loves, run them through distortion pedals and a drummer who doesn't know the meaning of the word restrained, and watch what happens to a wedding reception or a corporate do that was threatening to be polite.

Blink-182, Green Day, McFly, ABBA, The Killers... nothing is safe and nothing sounds the same once Crank get hold of it. That's the point.
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Egg Nightclub in London.
The band perform as a three, four or five piece depending on the event. Set formats are flexible: two 60-minute sets, one 90-minute set, three 40-minute sets, or two 45-minute sets.
They bring their own PA and lighting rig, and can run a DJ playlist between and after sets, or upgrade to full decks if you want to keep the night moving. Setup takes 40 to 60 minutes and they aim to arrive at least an hour before showtime.
