CRAAFT
craaft + Demos 1987


This German melodic rock quartet was formed in 1984.The line-up consisted of Franz Keil (keyboard) and Klaus Luley ( vocals; ex TOKYO) and Reinhard Besser (guitar), and they provided a breath of fresh air in the mid-80s teutonic rock scene, which was otherwise dominated by identikit speed metal bands. Surprisingly, the band sounded more American than German, combining Night Ranger, Whitesnake and Toto influences to great effect. Luley was a highly talented vocalist, using his considerable range and power to carry the melody lines, while the use of keboards to fill out the sound is achieved in a subtle and understanded fashion. They released three excellent albums, but received little recognition outside Germany.
