KidCrusher was first recognized by the world when he released his first home made music video (A Dirty Fuckin Murder) released on the internet in 2005. It was a featured article by “Something Awful“, which not only delivered KC thousands of negative comments and hate mail, but traffic from millions of fans from the underground music genre known as The Wicked Shit. KidCrusher then recorded his debut studio album Tormented Mutation in June 2006 and it was charted on the Awesam Music SA Top 10 Independent Charts at #3, right under The Hilltop Hoods. Which gave him the motivation to create an endless discography to entertain the world.

In 2007 KC wrote a single for “The Disturbed Movie” An Independent Horror Movie by Strongman Pictures Australia, The Director of the film Daniel Armstrong then produced a high definition music video on the set of the movie with KidCrusher in Melbourne, Australia featuring make up and special effects from Justin Dix who recently designed the drones on the set of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The Video was reviewed and KC was interviewed by FANGORIA (Americas Leading Horror Movie Magazine). The single was entitled “Meet The Monstors” featured on KidCrusher’s “Cannibal Clown” album.

In 2009 KidCrusher accomplished his first Australian Tour entitled Tunnel Runner Down Under Tour featuring special guests including The Berzerker from Melbourne Australia. The Tour consisted of dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Queensland and Sydney during April 2009. The tour was completely booked, paid for, hosted and managed by him self independently. In 2010 KidCrusher announced he is working with a full Shock Rock, Death Metal Band called KcaveMen on an album entitled Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums, KC has been working on lead vocals, guitar and production for the band. During the month of June 2010 a storm clouded over Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Queensland. When KidCrusher’s side project band KcaveMen were defrosted and set out on tour to promote there debut studio album Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums and on tour. With a successful independent tour, booked, managed and paid for by KidCrusher and his fellow band mates and local support acts HEADKASE which also features Todd Hansen on drums. KC said in interviews “The band started out as a collaboration between my self and Todd Hansen and it just blew up from there, I’ve always wanted to have a band full of committed, good people, and that’s what I’ve finally found“. The band is only said to be KC’s side project, how ever it’s doing really well for that. KcaveMen will re-appear from time to time around Australia and sometime in the near future embark around the world for another tour.
Kcavemen are a dream come true. All crazy make-up and flailing hair and fantastically aggressive stage presence. Having said that, if you’re the kind of person who requires nothing more from music than “brutality” and wild visuals, then Kcavemen are YOUR band! Brutal as fuck, yes…aesthetically pleasing, hell NO. They prove suitably entertaining for a spell, though by their set’s end I find myself looking for other sources of amusement… - Michael Bowser, Music Vice
2011 marked the release of KidCrusher’s side project ” The Grinch ” which also followed a music video for the single ” The Naughty List ” which was Produced & Directed by Strongman Pictures who produced ” Meet The Monstors “, It was a side project put together to revise the single ” The Grinch On A Dope Pinch ” which was featured on the album ” Stoned as a Mother Fucker “. With so much feedback from the split personality or gimmick which KidCrusher portrays Jim Carey‘s Version of Dr. Sues The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. The album was very well reviewed and came back with a lot of feedback so this may not be the end of The Grinch. Over 2011, since KC was chained from working International shows for a few more years, he worked on Tour Management, opening “Freak Show Touring” and hosted an Australian Tour for Europe’s Clown Core Kings Bawdy Festival, and later on in the year he booked and hosted the Hopsin Australian Tour with Chitty Bang Touring, then in early 2012 won two support slots to open for the Hed(p.e.) & Jeffrey Nothing (Mushroomead) Australian Hed2Head Tour with KillRockStar Entertainment aka Big Dog.

After the last tour, KC has been recording with BubZombie in The Cave Recording Studio in Adelaide South Australia for his master-project “Metal Murder 3D“. Which is labelled to be a “Musical Film” The musical film is a film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film’s characters, though in some cases they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate “production numbers”. The feature film, followed by a 2CD Digi-pack product available after the pay-per-view on the release date, speculated for early 2013. So far, already spoilers have been leaking on the artists featuring on the product via Twitter conversations by KidCrusher @AustralianAlien such as; Strongman Pictures, Q Strange, The Underground Avengers, Miss Kisa, Trips, Chico, Nascent, Lo Key, Teddy DKC & Bub Zombie. These collaborations are how ever speculations; As the twitter conversations are not verified by KidCrusher to the press for the album.

Kidcrusher Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m a tunnel runner bitch yo K.I.D
With the th Degree bumping sounds
From the underground
I'm from the bottom of the world
Who are, ripping out ya mother fucking
Insides with this Horrorcore Madness
You want the wicked shit
Well I'm about to drop it then hock it
To every mother fucker that i see right
I've got nothing and no one in my life
That gives a FUCK
And when i get there somebody′s there
Tryna fuck it UP
And then i fuck you up,
And then you fuck me up,
There is no point to nothing
But to fuck each other up
THE WICKED SHIT, IS WHAT WE DROP
WHEN WE′RE FUCKED UP, FUCKED UP
EVERYBODY'S FUCKED UP
The Music that makes you shake
Because you can relate
The lyrics are so bloody
Like my bloody body
In the tunnels we run and you will find me
Under the ground, Under the ground,
Upside Down
Can you feel the intensity (in me)
And bang your head up and down
(Like a basketball)
In the tunnels we run (and you will find me)
Under the ground
THE WICKED SHIT, IS WHAT WE DROP
WHEN WE′RE FUCKED UP, FUCKED UP
EVERYBODY'S FUCKED UP
The Music that makes you shake
Because you can relate
The lyrics are so bloody
Like my bloody body
Inside, my mind, behind, the lines
I′m at the bottom of the lake
Because i was dumped here
The wicked shit is what i feel
And what i relate to
And if you feel me
Then you must be fucked up
The world is fucked up
And the dead be my date
I hide, my anxiety
My depression is no lesson
The only reason i am breathing
Is my family and if i did not have that
Then i would not want to be
Talk shit, dont give a fuck about me
I don't care if you talk badly about me.
I′m a tunnel runner bitch yo K.I.D
I am a Horrorcore rapper; my stage name is KidCrusher, but I prefer to go by K.I.D.
With the th Degree bumping sounds
I am playing loud music with dark, hardcore lyrics.
From the underground
I am part of the underground Horrorcore music scene.
I'm from the bottom of the world
I come from Australia, which is considered the 'bottom' of the world.
And I′m crawling out the sewer
I am trying to make a name for myself despite starting from the bottom.
Who are, ripping out ya mother fucking
I am subverting expectations by creating brutal, violent lyrics that are completely opposite to mainstream music. I am tearing apart the norm.
Insides with this Horrorcore Madness
My lyrics are violent and gruesome, and I take pride in that.
You want the wicked shit
You are looking for brutal, hardcore music and lyrics.
Well I'm about to drop it then hock it
I will deliver this kind of music to you and sell it.
To every mother fucker that i see right
To anyone that is interested in this kind of music.
I've got nothing and no one in my life
I have no one and nothing to care about.
That gives a FUCK
No one cares about me, and I don't care about anyone else.
And when i get there somebody′s there
If I do find something or someone to care about, there is always someone trying to ruin it for me.
Tryna fuck it UP
This person is trying to sabotage my happiness.
And then i fuck you up,
If someone tries to hurt me or what matters to me, I will retaliate.
And then you fuck me up,
But if I try, I know I will get hurt too.
There is no point to nothing
Life is meaningless.
But to fuck each other up
So, all we do is try to hurt each other to feel something.
THE WICKED SHIT, IS WHAT WE DROP
Our music is all about brutality and insanity.
WHEN WE′RE FUCKED UP, FUCKED UP
We make this music when we are in a dark place mentally.
EVERYBODY'S FUCKED UP
No one is okay, we are all messed up.
The Music that makes you shake
My music is intense and emotional.
Because you can relate
Listeners can connect with the feelings of pain and aggression in my music.
The lyrics are so bloody
The language I use is graphic and violent.
Like my bloody body
My music is not just words, it reflects the real emotional and physical pain I have experienced.
In the tunnels we run and you will find me
The underground world of Horrorcore is where I belong and where I want to be.
Under the ground, Under the ground,
I am underground, both physically and creatively. The darkness in my music reflects my mentality, and this is where I fit.
Upside Down
My world, and the world of Horrorcore, is the opposite of everything that is considered 'normal' in the mainstream world.
Can you feel the intensity (in me)
The emotions and feelings I express in my music are powerful.
And bang your head up and down
My music is heavy and headbanging.
(Like a basketball)
I want my listeners to feel the beat and vibe of the music, so they will nod their heads like they do when they watch a basketball game.
Inside, my mind, behind, the lines
My lyrics reflect my innermost thoughts and experiences.
I′m at the bottom of the lake
My life feels like it's under water, and I am drowning.
Because i was dumped here
I feel rejected and unwanted.
The wicked shit is what i feel
The darkness, pain, and violence in my music reflect the emotions I am going through.
And what i relate to
I connect with other people who are struggling and feel this way too.
And if you feel me
If you understand what I'm expressing with all my darkness and aggression.
Then you must be fucked up
You, too, must be struggling with mental health or some kind of trauma.
The world is fucked up
Everything right now seems to be crumbling and causing chaos.
And the dead be my date
I feel like I am surrounded by death, and everything in my life is depressing and leading me towards an early end.
I hide, my anxiety
I am trying to deal with my mental distress by hiding it and avoiding it.
My depression is no lesson
I can't learn from my depression because it overwhelms me.
The only reason i am breathing
I am only alive because of my family, and their love is what keeps me going.
Is my family and if i did not have that
If I didn't have my family to support me, I don't think I would be able to go on.
Then i would not want to be
Without their love, I would lose my will to live.
