Today we’d like to introduce you to Future Crib.
Hi Future, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Future Crib began as a personal project when I was 17. Bryce and I had a band in high school called Naff Noise, and when the others in the band got busier and didn’t have as much time, I started to make some of my own recordings.
That ended up becoming Stevie B. We started playing shows with a rotating cast of members, kind of like a pickup band. Just whoever could play. Eventually, we settled into the lineup we have now – the five of us. Julia, George, Noah, Bryce, and me. We are best friends and love each other very much. A band is a unit now rather than one person’s project. It feels very organic and rewarding.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Being in an independent band is challenging. You drive all day to play your heart out to two or three people, sometimes no one at all – in a city you’ve never been to before. No one knows you, but it doesn’t make it any less worth it.
You become a better band, closer friends, and one new fan can make a huge difference. We do a good job of communicating with each other and staying positive on the road and in other facets of our lives. We’re very close.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I write songs and play music! I also record music sometimes. We all do. We all have a very fervent passion for what we do and I feel like it shows in the things we create and share. We record all our own music and really take time to dive into sounds and textures – really get into what the thing itself is (or could be), you know?
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
My parents have been the biggest help and inspiration to me, personally. They’ve never doubted me and what I want to do. I think it helps that I am motivated and am a bit of a workaholic, so they see the work we put into this.
But there’s also some unconditional love there. It’s one of the most special things in my life and I don’t take it for granted. I think I speak for everyone in the band as well. Our families are behind us and what we do, and it gives us a lot of confidence. Our managers, Danny, and Dan are also the two people who have had the biggest role in getting us to where we are now over the past year. They are workhorses, man. We love them!
