Background
[edit | edit source]In 1996, Douglas and Darren Elder founded The Kingpin Wrecking Crew. With Doug on lead vocals and guitar and Darren on drums, joined by Karl Anderson on keyboards/synths/organ, Ty Monroe on bass guitar and Joe McCann on turntables, the band achieved a unique sound of funk rock blended with hip hop and various other styles. After a few years in the band, Monroe parted ways with the band. Anderson resumed bass duties and McCann began playing more keys. The band eventually changed their name to The Wrecking. In 2011, McCann left the group and Chris James joined. The band announced their breakup in 2013.
