The official biography of Crack the Sky, by Tyson Koska. A conversation about the band, the music, and the city that adopted them.
About the book
Why did a band from Weirton, West Virginia become part of Baltimore's musical identity while remaining a cult favorite elsewhere? All Things Crack: Some Endure follows Crack the Sky's unusual journey through the voices of original and subsequent members.
Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, the book brings together the people, songs, photographs, and memories behind a fifty-year story.
