'''Crunt''' was an [[alternative rock]] band, though was more of a side project, together from [[1993 in music|1993]] to [[1995 in music|1995]]. The band was formed when all three members were living in [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]]. Kat Bjelland (bassist) and Stuart Gray (guitarist) were married at the time. The band was something of a side project for Bjelland ([[Babes in Toyland (band)|Babes in Toyland]]) and drummer Russell Simins ([[Jon Spencer Blues Explosion]]). Gray had previously been in Salamander Jim and [[Lubricated Goat]].
In February 1993, the band wrote songs and recorded an LP, which didn't come out until February 15, 1994. The band made plans for a full tour for the release but that never eventuated. In 1995 Bjelland and Gray were divorced and the band broke up.
