Craine formed in April 2006 in their hometown of Sheffield. After building a loyal Yorkshire fanbase the boys supported Rooster on their UK Tour in late 2006. This was followed by the band's growing myspace fanbase snapping up all 3,000 ltd copies of debut EP 'Treehouse Sessions' in 2 weeks flat.

shows in 2007 took them further a field to different corners of the UK as the band generated label interest. Leadmill, Sheffield (Supporting The Departure), Dublin Castle, London and The Cavern, Liverpool were definite highlights.

In February 2008 with label interest gathering pace, the band parted company with original drummer Jordan Osborn. With only a week before their label showcase jamming started with replacement Tom Stebbing who instantly fitted in with the band's sound. Tom played the showcase and after an array of interest the band confirmed they had signed to Halo Records.

CRAINE were impressed with label boss Mike Maslen's belief in them which was only confirmed when their deal was extended to a full recording contract to cover the band's debut album 'Sleeping Vixen' penned for an early 2009 release.

The band released debut single 'End of the Line' in June 2007, (on download and limited edition CD) which entered at No 7 on the Radio 1 Official Indie Chart. The release was supported by a string of successful UK tour dates.
