Beginning in 2004, Minneapolis-natives, The Crinn, were happily toying with every genre that had been toyed with at all in the past couple of decades in a spasmodic fashion akin to vanguard artists like Mr. Bungle and Fantomas. After a change in vocalsits, the style of music changed to a far more focused, technical, metalcore effort with some jazz quirks thrown in. The band has released two EPs, the latter similar to SikTh, and will release a 2010 LP.
