DESCRIPTION:In 1975\, an unknown band from Weirton\, West Virginia SHOCKED 
 the Baltimore music scene – becoming "The Beatles of Baltimore." Rolling
  Stone crowned their first album "one of the year’s most impressive debu
 ts\," and in 2015\, listed it as one of the "50 best prog albums of all ti
 me."\n\n \n\nYet\, Baltimore's Beatles are nearly unknown everywhere else 
 even as\, 50 years later\, they continue to create new music and sell out 
 shows in their adoptive home. How does an out-of-town band hit it SO BIG i
 n one locale and remain a staple for half a century? All Things Crack expl
 ores the band's odd history through the voices of the original and subsequ
 ent members. Based on hundreds of interviews\, the story unfolds as a 50-y
 ear conversation interspersed with lyrics and melody.\n\n \n\nQuirky\, edg
 y\, smart – like the band itself – this is the story of CRACK THE SKY.
