SOUL CRAFT is a dynamic musical force hailing from the Washington DC/Northern Virginia Metro Area, the spawning ground of the legendary DC Hardcore scene. With roots in the DC area, the band couldn’t help but be influenced by local legends Bad Brains, thus the name Soul Craft (from the album Quickness) as well as each member’s diverse background which fuses genres like Hardcore, Metal, Reggae, Rock & Punk. The common denominators of their sound are the bounce, the groove, the off-beat nuances, and their pummeling breakdowns. The formula that Soul Craft uses is simply to create music as fans of music.
