Official Website

Audible Crayons hails from the Boston area and is the product of many diverse musical influences tunneled through one common vision. The band's use of musical theory has been presented through such styles as rock, funk, classical, surf and even international while riding out times such as 4/4,6/8,5/4 and 13/8. The youth of this band makes the rawness of such musical approach remain while not seeming too remedial.

Mike Scrima, 22, founder and oldest member of the band, received his musical training at the youngest ages, 9-13 years old, at the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School in Cambridge and attended one semester of the music business program at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell at 19 years old. Shaun Hanson, 22, met Mike in high school and shared common musical interests which later turned Shaun onto many hours of self-taught playing (some resulting in mild tendonitus)and only recently having few lessons here or there at such music retail chains as Daddy's Junky Music. Jamie DiCicco, 20, was introduced to Mike through a mutual friend at their place of work and coupled his self-taught playing with music theory classes at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth after joining the band at age 18. Joe Buckley, 18, met Shaun through their place of work and joined the band at age 17, after having been in a few bands prior to this one, and also has only recently involved himself in formal lessons.

One common teacher that these four bandmates share, however, is experience. The year 1999 saw these musicians share 15 performances together, some of which were nightmarish, equipment-failing disasters and some of which were encore-provoking crowd-winners. The settings for these explosive events ranged from coffeehouses and festivals around the Boston area to bars far away from home in places like Los Angeles which is how far their experimentally independent summer tour took them. Although such accomplishments as that and their first full-length album, The Works of Said Crayons, are already under their collective belt, Audible Crayons is far from being done and far from considering themselves at their peak just yet.
