Biography

Cryptobiotic are a hard-hitting band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Shunning the Nu Metal label in favor of “Modern Aggressive,” the band’s eccentric sound and high energy performances have earned them the distinction of becoming one of the biggest draws in their home state. I would have remained unaware of them if not for the fact their popularity is on the rise in Colorado as well. After seeing them open for Aggressive Persuasion in Pueblo Colorado, I understood why. Cryptobiotic’s members are on a mission to dominate any stage they step on; committed to making sure once they step off, anyone in attendance is a fan. Made up of vocalists Willy Dalton and Nick Despain, guitarist Chris Langehaug, bassist Wes Nappi, drummer Nate Brown, and Chris Bingham handling tables and raps, they have been on an upward trajectory since their inception in 1998. After releasing two sucessful CDs, enjoying major success on garageband.com and and appearing on four successful compilation releases, the band quickly became too big for their own state. They have been actively touring all western states ever since, building their fanbase and creating solid relationships wherever they go. One of their first appearances in Colorado was opening for Rocket Ajax over a year ago. Since that time, they count Fomofuiab, Rubber Planet, Switchpin, Aggressive Persuasion, Sickbox, ION, Kronow, Rogue and a host of others as friends. They have been filmed by Colorado’s very own “Denver’s Heartbeat,” appeared on DenverLocalMusicScene.com and have a current feature in Throat Culture Mag. As of this writing, they have almost 400 shows to their credit, with no intention of stopping short of national prominence.
