Out of a mid American town (Oklahoma City) saturated in country and metal music arises an innovative 4 piece band known as The Stock Market Crash. They powerfully orchestrate distinct indie-pop songs into a sound that is definitely their own. Formed late in 2004, these 4 long-time musicians have already left a mark on the local scene by selling-out local venues. They have also been getting a lot of attention from local press.
