BIG SOUNDS CAN COME FROM SMALL PLACES

Nirvana, Rush, Blink-182, The Police, Cream; all of these legendary rock groups were able to achieve massive success without the need for complex instrumentation.

KCKSTRT is a garage-rock trio based in the rural, artist-friendly community of Corvallis, Oregon. While KCKSTRT may be a relatively new musical venture for the trio, the members — Vocalist/Guitarist Wyatt Arnsdorf, Drummer Dawson Bancroft, and Bassist Ben Todd — are no strangers to the Corvallis music scene. In an act of simplification, the founding members of KCKSTRT departed other projects to pursue a stripped down, organic approach to their unique flavor of garage-rock. Blending vintage garage-rock sounds with a modern lyrical approach, KCKSTRT is able to deliver music that doesn’t only resonate with timely social issues, but is also nestled in familiar song structures.
