Their name, like their music, reflects a genre-blending fusion of past and future, combining elements of Prog Rock, Art Rock and Pop. Crypto Knight is Dave Johnson & Tim Malugin. Having met online during a music course the pair realized that despite very different backgrounds (Dave from North East England (now based in Portugal) & Tim on the Gulf Coast USA) they had similar musical influences including Folk Rock, Classic Rock, Progressive Rock and Electronic Music and so started writing together. With Dave composing the music and Tim providing melodies and lyrics, the early online collaborations as part of their course focused more on modern sounding tracks. However, it was soon apparent that they preferred to be more authentic and write in their more familiar Rock style, and so new material came together very quickly. The resulting albums demonstrate their unique and varied style which has been described as a mix of Neo Prog, Art Rock, Alternative and Electronic Rock.
