Crank Stallion

Crank Stallion is a three‑piece rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, mixing elements of avant‑garde and progressive rock with jazz grooves, Cuban and cumbia rhythms, funk, hip‑hop, and psychedelia. Jon Dowse (keyboards, Moog), Wes Lambe (8‑string guitar‑bass), and Ben Maschal (drums). Jon and Wes have played together since middle school, their bond shaping a sound both familiar and strange. With Ben’s pulse anchoring the chaos, the trio creates music that feels suspended in its own dimension—untethered, elusive, and entirely present.
