Unofficial Ott-Cometbus - assorted info and artwork related to Crimpshrine and offshoots, including the Cometbus zine.
The name originates from a girl who the band knew, who always had very crimped blonde hair. They thank her in some of their album art.
Jeff Ott (vocals) is also the lead singer in Fifteen.

As far as I know Crimpshrine recorded 5 times between 1987 and 1989
The first session was during 2/87 and featured the original trio of Aaron, Jeff, and Pete. The session was recorded by Brian Edge at Gilman and 12 songs were recorded. This was originally released as a demo tape and as far as I know the entire session has never been re-released. Two of the songs from this session did appear on the Sound Of A New World Being Born, one of which was also released on the G-Whiz split 7".
