Formed in 2002, Crop Circle was blessed with early success. Before setting foot on stage the band had a surprise runaway hit with Mexican Cockfight. From there the band hit the road touring western Canada several times from Victoria to Winnipeg. Some of the highlights included performing with ZZ Top at The Bluff in Kelowna, playing Calgary Stampede with Bif Naked and 3 trips to Edmonton within a 3-week period. In that time Crop Circle produced 2 demo EPs and sold over 1,000 copies right off the stage. The band used those hard miles and experience on the road to write songs and develop their sound. On April 15, 2006 Crop Circle entered into the studio with producer Todd Kerns to record their debut album “Come Inside.” The band wanted to cut it old school so the complete record was recorded and mixed to tape in just 2 weeks. The CD is expected to hit stores in the fall of ‘07.
Crop Circle is comprised of a bunch of guys who grew up together in Mission, a small mill town outside of Vancouver. They all played in their first bands together in high school, so their roots run deep. In fact, the band still rehearses in an old barn out in the Valley. Crop Circle is all about friends uncompromisingly playing the music they love and having a great time doing it! Sean McCormick (vocals), Brian Garbet (guitar), Nathan Zadworny (bass) & Ben Darbey (drums). The secret is out - a long sought after mystery has been revealed. The answers to the world's crop circle phenomenon lie here on Canada's west coast!
In addition to sharing the stage with the likes of ZZ Top and Bif Naked, the band has also performed with Todd Kerns, Swollen Members, Cheap Trick, Wide Mouth Mason, The Black Halo's, Lou Gramm & Gob .
The band is currently preparing for live shows & a western tour to support the release of the single "RECENT STRANGER" to Canadian radio.

BANDS GET A BUZZ FROM BUD
Some relatively unknown local groups have been selected to take part in a national promotion with big-name sponsorship. Budweiser True Music is a digital-music download service that features songs from a variety of Canadian acts. These include major signed bands such as the Trews and Finger Eleven, and indie outfits like Vancouver's Crop Circle, State of Shock and Krome. Crop Circle's Brian Garbet told the Straight that someone from Budweiser discovered the band on an obscure Internet site and got in touch. The guitarist admits he had reservations about signing on to a project with such obvious corporate tie-ins, but he said that benefits to the bands outweigh any flak they might get. "I looked at it this way: how they're basically functioning for us in a lot of ways is sort of like a record company. Like, they're getting us out there, they're getting promotion happening, opening up doors to different things that we might not be able to get on our own, most likely. And they're not asking anything from us other than to allow people to download our music, which we want anyhow." Bands participating in the True Music promotion will perform at Bud-sponsored concerts throughout the country this summer. "It's a big step for us," Garbet said. "I think it's going to help things, and I'm looking forward to it."
