Crowbar’s next Boston-area show is December 12, 2026 at Roadrunner.
Crowbar is a seminal American sludge metal band formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1990, fronted by vocalist and guitarist Kirk Windstein. Known for their crushing, down-tuned riffs and emotionally raw lyrics, they helped define the intersection of hardcore punk and doom metal. Albums like *Odd Fellows Rest* (1998) and *Lifesblood for the Downtrodden* (2005) cemented their influence on heavy music.
