Whit was a founding member and lead singer of the rock band Ugly Kid Joe, which formed in 1989 and disbanded in 1997. However, according to the band's Myspace Page Ugly Kid Joe has reformed, with plans to tour in 2010-2011 and possibly write new material. \nFollowing Ugly Kid Joe's demise, Whit went on a year-long tour with New York hard rockers Life of Agony before forming Medication with ex-Machine Head guitarist, Logan Mader. Due to a series of internal issues, Medication disbanded in February 2003. \nOver the years, Whit performed guest vocals on several tracks, including Reaching Out by Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray (from the Lynn Strait tribute album Strait Up), Born to Raise Hell by Motorhead (featuring rapper Ice-T) and Voodoo Brother by Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest. \nWhit's filmography includes Ellie Parker, where he has a cameo appearance as an acting student, and Motorhead's 25 \u0026amp; Alive: Boneshaker, where he is himself. \nIn 2006, former Ugly Kid Joe bandmate, Shannon Larkin, asked Whit to be the primary vocalist on a side project he formed with other Godsmack members (minus Sully Erna) called Another Animal. Whit accepted, and the band released its self-titled debut album in 2007. In support of their debut, the band went out on tour, opening for labelmates Alter Bridge. Due to poor record sales, the future of the band is currently unknown. \nIn 2011, he performed with metal tribute band Hail! in Istanbul, Turkey. \n Compilation Credits\n\n1994 Born to Raise Hell / Motorhead with Ice-T and Whitfield Crane - Single, Airheads Original Soundtrack, \n1996 Burnin' Up / Doom Squad - A Tribute to Judas Priest: Legends of Metal Vol. 1, \n1997 Voodoo Brother / Glenn Tipton - Baptizm of Fire, \n1998 Live Wire, Ride On / The Sensational Whitskiteer Band - Thunderbolt: A Tribute To AC/DC, \n2000 Live Wire (Wired Remix) / Remixed to Hell: AC/DC Tribute, \n2000 Reaching Out / Strait Up: A Tribute to Lynn Strait, \n2001 Sanitarium / Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica, \n2002 Lord Of Thighs / One Way Street: A Tribute to Aerosmith, \n2004 Master of Puppets / Metallic Attack: The Ultimate Tribute\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Whitfield+Crane+Rocky+George+Randy+Castillio+Mike+Inez","playStationPath":"/stations/283946619/play","stationId":283946619,"bioPath":"/music/Whitfield+Crane+Rocky+George+Randy+Castillio+Mike+Inez/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Kyle+Swager","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/656/6561a262f9b6c25e44fadd69d4074119_md.jpg","artistName":"Kyle Swager","artistId":109577,"station_id":283944826},{"musicPath":"/music/Christian+Cannabich","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6fa/6fa12fbd5fd1941956258ca35cc5a228_md.jpg","artistName":"Christian Cannabich","artistId":76255,"station_id":266476376},{"musicPath":"/music/We+Bang","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e81/e8190c85dbb9479e48b619c3dfb7d534_md.jpg","artistName":"We Bang","artistId":91794,"station_id":273411758},{"musicPath":"/music/Donavon+Frankenreiter+Jack+Johnson+G+Love+Zach+Gill","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/145/1456d7c719192b2184c3cf072ac09b9c_md.jpg","artistName":"Donavon Frankenreiter, Jack Johnson, G.
