about
1) Crayon formed in 1990 in Bellingham, Washington, which is about 90 miles north of Seattle. Featuring Brad Roberts (guitar/vocals), Sean Tollefson (bass/vocals) and Jeff Fell (drums); they were obviously influenced by bands like Beat Happening and The Modern Lovers. In the four years they were together, they released a handful of 7" singles and one full length album. Many considered their unique style, combining heavily distorted guitar with strong indiepop elements to be the missing link between UK twee bands like The Pastels and American indie bands like Tsunami and the more abrasive Unwound. Some called the style of music they played “love rock," while others referred to it as “cuddlecore.” In their time together, Crayon played a number of live shows and shared the stage with such diverse bands as: Superchunk, Pavement, Tiger Trap, Built to Spill, The Melvins, Bikini Kill, Karp, Heavens to Betsy, Alan Clapp, Seaweed, Ed's Redeeming Qualities, Some Velvet Sidewalk, cub, Nothing Painted Blue, The Stinkypuffs, Mecca Normal, Unwound, New Bad Things, Henry’s Dress, Smog, Lois, Godhead Silo, New Bomb Turks and The Softies. Even though they only recorded one album, Crayon would certainly have to be included as one of the most influential bands to come out of the sleepy college town of Bellingham, Washington. 2) Crayon was one of the teams formed for the concept evaluation for the Mnet survival show, Produce X 101. This team consisted of: Jungmo, Wonjin, Dongpyo, Minhee, Hyeong
