KAYO (22) ☆ LEAD VOCALS | PERCUSSION | PIANIST ☆ Now, we know what you're thinking; "This Professional Dancer turned Metal Singer isn't what I'd normally expect from a band like The Placid Crows" and you're not alone in that sort of thinking. While her quiet voice and shy demeanour in interviews may have some old-school Metalheads turning away, KAYO's soft tone and unexpected ability to powerfully 'belt' helps the Crows create several haunting melodies that have already charmed the hearts of many Corbillats. And now that she's become more confident in her musical capabilities, thanks to the band's attendance at EDGEWAVE 2025, KAYO has begun incorporating her piano and tambourine skills into the shows alongside her typical kicks and twirls!

VINNIE (26) ☆ BACKING VOCALS | LEAD GUITAR ☆ Vinnie is probably THE single most important member of the Placid Crows. Not because he's some big hotshot or the 'main man' - it's purely down to the fact that he is the brains and the most vocal voice behind the scenes. Since the Crows are still finding their feet and have no manager assistance, Vinnie gets the gigs organized, does the scheduling, plans the driving routes, handles phone calls, keeps their budget above the 'red line' while making sure the Crows have everything they need whenever they need it, works on their wardrobe and makeup and will be the first to speak out if someone even tries to mess with the others. He's basically the mother hen of the crows but in truth, he really doesn't mind. It beats using his people skills in a shitty dead-end job and, if he has his say in the matter, Vinnie has no intention of returning to bartending at any dive bars any time soon!

QUINN (26) ☆ BACKING VOCALS | BASSIST | HYPEMAN ☆ Alright, so maybe 'hypeman' isn't exactly that important to the overall functionality of a band but honestly, you would never be able to convince this man of anything otherwise. Quinn is a ball of full-on energy and cheer, always getting into shenanigans with his identical twin or coaxing KAYO and Einar out of their shells. Quinn absolutely adores what the band creates together (both in the studio and through the bonds they all share with each other) and will be the first to get the crowd on their feet at most of their performances with a large attendance. Quinn is also known to be a bit of a risk taker, often fracturing either his ankles or wrists much to the dismay of his fellow Crows but he swears it's 'only really happened that one time' and they're just being a bit too overprotective of him.

EINAR (31) ☆ *BACKING VOCALS | DRUMMER | PERCUSSION ☆ The completely silent mountain of a man who can usually be found in the background of photographs or at the rear-end of the stage. As the current reigning 'most elusive crow', not much is actually known about Einar due to his lack of verbal communication with interviewers or fans. But if one were to ask each of the Crows, they would readily claim that Einar has a very gentle soul and is extremely caring when it comes to their wellbeing. While he can talk, Einar suffers from intense social anxiety due being the eldest child of 100 siblings. Thankfully, due to his appearance, his tendency to always wear a mask in public and just being huge overall, no one aside from the other Crows really approaches him.

*Studio recordings ONLY. Einar doesn't like to sing live... (he'd sound hella muffled lol)

To any Simmer planning to create any CC for this year's EDGEWAVE (Line Up Posters/Poster Collections/Band bracelets/etc.) you have my complete and enthusiastic consent to include The Placid Crows! (If you wanna ofc) Anything I post for this Simblr Community Event, you can 100% use!

AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME! IT'S 100% OK!

Here's their logo, they only have one! (Unless someone wants the solo crow lol)

Have a full view of the actual render/edit instead! <3

Also, if anyone needs audio to aid their imagination a little, I like to think that KAYO sounds like Aya Stefanowicz from the band UnSun! It took me AGES to find a 'voice claim' that matched the voice I typically envision whenever I work on KAYO, so I hope what I imagine matches your predictions too! This song has also been stuck on repeat for DAYS and was the song choice behind the 'Official Music Video' in my head lol ♡
