Cruelty Free

Cruelty Free promises edgy-Alt-Rock-Pop with hooks that drop your guard and clever lyrics that stimulate your consciousness. Cruelty Free is not about contriving a sound. There are vast influences that may seem to be polar-opposites of each other, such as Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters, Dead Can Dance, Failure, Weezer and Jeff Buckley. The members of Cruelty Free all have years-worth of experience playing, writing, recording and performing. One would think the tendency for such a group would be to use that experience and develop a "formula"...but that is not the case here. Part of what drives the band is choosing to let things happen organically rather than settling for the "flavor-of-the-month" sound. In an industry that is littered with songwriting clinics and music industry "how to" books, it is seemingly too easy to fall into the trap of choosing a sound. Simply put, Cruelty Free is a band that is constantly evolving outside of its boundaries of guitar-driven, alt pop.
