About Crushed – professional heavy metal wedding band based in London, UK
In a world of polished pop and cookie-cutter cover bands, Crushed tears through the noise with a blistering, unapologetic tribute to the golden era of alternative, nu metal and rap metal.
This powerhouse 4-piece delivers the raw, unfiltered energy, aggression and catharsis that fans of late '90s and early 2000s heavy music crave: the kind of sound rarely seen (or dared) on the function band circuit, let alone performed at this level.
Their show is an explosive tribute to the heavy hitters that shaped a generation, ripping through anthems like Foo Fighters’ All My Life, Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff and Rollin’, System of a Down’s Chop Suey!, Linkin Park’s In the End, Papa Roach’s Last Resort, Slipknot’s Wait and Bleed and Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name — performed with ferocity, precision and respect for the originals.
These are cultural touchstones, anthems of rebellion and raw emotion that still resonate with a fiercely passionate audience.
Our video promo offers a glimpse into this sonic maelstrom, showcasing our ability to capture the energy and intensity of these legendary artists.
We are united by a singular purpose: to deliver the definitive live metal experience.
Crushed carefully curated repertoire is a deep dive into the aggressive, high-energy world of alternative heavy music, with dashes of earlier classics and other hard-hitting sub-genres to keep things fresh, relevant and unpredictable.
Specialising in the anthems that defined the alternative and nu-metal explosion, we also pay homage to the foundational titans.
We demolish genre boundaries while staying true to the core that unites them all. This is the music that packed arenas and tore up festival stages — now reimagined for live events that want something real.
Fronted by Rod, a vocal beast with inhuman range, we deliver commanding performances worthy of the genre’s most demanding tracks.
Rod's vocal mastery allows us to seamlessly transition from soaring melodic lines to guttural screams, delivering each iconic vocal with power and precision. Alongside him, our bassist and co-lead vocalist brings grit and clarity — allowing the band to authentically perform the multi-layered, vocally extreme arrangements these songs are known for.
From huge melodic hooks to heavy rap verses and throat-tearing screams, the duo’s vocal chemistry hits every corner of the genre with total credibility.
Behind them, a crushing, razor-sharp guitar work and a drummer who punishes his kit with the precision, aggression — locking into the groove and unleashing chaos when needed — form the backbone of the band’s relentless sound.
The result?
Crushed effortlessly recreates — and elevates — the sound that defined a generation of heavy music lovers, delivering the tone and power of the original recordings with total authenticity.
THE ULTIMATE METAL THROWDOWN
Whether it’s a corporate party looking to make a bold statement, a private event for die-hard rockers or a festival crowd craving nostalgia and adrenaline, Crushed delivers a high-octane, crowd-moving spectacle that defies expectations.
Loud, locked-in and relentlessly tight, they’re not just playing metal, they’re restoring its place on stages where it’s long been ignored.
This isn’t your average function band. This is a full-throttle, no-compromise metal experience crafted for those who grew up in the pit, who know every lyric by heart and who thought they’d never hear their music at this type of event — and certainly not performed
with this kind of professionalism, intensity and respect for the source material.
Forget safety.
Crushed is your gateway to a high-impact, exclusive live experience that no other event band can offer.
For fans of Linkin Park, Korn, Deftones, Rage, Slipknot, SOAD, Limp Bizkit and beyond — this is the band you’ve been waiting for.
Stop settling for the ordinary. Demand the unexpected.
Demand Crushed.
Let us unleash the beast and transform your event into a legendary testament to the power of metal.

"We hired Crushed for our wedding reception, and they completely blew us away. From the moment they launched into their first song, the atmosphere shifted—suddenly it wasn’t just a wedding, it was a full-blown metal gig (in the best possible way). The band had incredible stage presence, nailed every track, and kept the energy sky-high all night. Even guests who weren’t into metal before were cheering and dancing by the end. If you're after something different, powerful, and unforgettable, Crushed is the one."
"We found Crushed through Fix The Music, and they did not disappoint. Their set was a perfect mix of heavy and fun, with just the right balance of grit and accessibility. Even the more reserved guests ended up dancing and throwing the horns by the end of the night. I’d book them again in a heartbeat."
"Absolutely outstanding. Crushed played at our wedding and totally transformed the evening into something unforgettable. We weren’t sure how well metal would go down, but they read the room brilliantly—mixing in crowd-pleasers with heavier material and even a couple of tongue-in-cheek covers that had everyone laughing and singing along. The professionalism, the sound quality, and the way they carried the night... just phenomenal."
"Crushed were everything we hoped for and more. I’d been looking for a function band that leaned heavier but still knew how to entertain a mixed crowd, and these guys nailed it. They’re tight, charismatic, and clearly seasoned performers. They even learned our favourite song and played it as a surprise closer—it was a moment I’ll never forget. Fix The Music made the whole booking process smooth and stress-free too, which really helped."
"What a band! From the moment they walked on stage, Crushed had our crowd hooked. Their energy was relentless, the musicianship was top-tier, and they delivered a set that managed to be both brutal and completely joyous. I’ve worked with a lot of function bands, and this one stands out for all the right reasons."
