Crude Awakening is our Preferred Artists for the week of April 6th 2026. This hard rocking band from Waterloo Ontario has been part of the station for many years now. We’ve been covering the band on Lead Pedal Radio since their first album release in 2024. They are in the midst of recording their second album and are currently in the studio. In fact we had the chance to talk with drummer Blain Jefferey about being in the studio on a recent visit to Hung By The Tongue Studio.
It was really amazing being the studio with the band and we even had a chance to talk with Ben Kempel the producer and owner of the studio. Find out what Ben had to say about producing music for bands in the interview below.
Watch for more on Crude Awakening on our live shows on Lead Pedal Radio where you can see and hear their music. Visit the band on their website and socials. Thanks to the Crude Awakening Band for being great Preferred Artists on Lead Pedal Radio
