It's always been a paradox: Los Angeles is called the City of Angels, but it's ripe with temptation that can steal your soul. From afar, though, its promising allure always beckons to innocent dreamers, artists, and musicians unaware of its sinister vibrations.
The Benson sisters grew up in a paradise in Hawaii surrounded by a loving family and community who nurtured their talents. Their hometown was a Garden of Eden, but just over yonder big-town success gleamed; the shiny juicy apple of LA called out to them.
The Benson sisters write from their experiences and emotions as they pursue their dreams and ambitions. The band's aesthetic is a vibrant mosaic of the sisters' influences, including pop, electronic, alternative, K-pop, J-pop, and indie-pop. CRIMSON APPLE counts as inspirations a refreshingly diverse mix of artists such as Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, Twenty One Pilots, etc.
CRIMSON APPLE is Colby Benson, lead vocals; Shelby Benson, guitar; Carthi Benson, bass; and Faith Benson, drums. Since the band's inception in 2012, CRIMSON APPLE has shared stage with such venerated artists as All Time Low, The Plain White Ts, Switchfoot, One Republic, and Hawaiian music legends, HAPA. The group’s 2015 debut album, Hello, garnered commercial airing in Hawaii, and across the internet, including earning spins on iHeartMedia and Star 101.9. The year of its debut, the sisters also earned nominations for Alternative Album of the Year, Most Promising Artist of the Year, and Group of the Year at the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, Hawaii's equivalent of the Grammy Awards.
In 2015, CRIMSON APPLE relocated to California to further pursue music. Since the move, the band has performed in numerous venues and festivals across the US.
