Krewella is an American electronic dance music band from the Chicago suburb of Northbrook, Illinois, United States, that formed in 2007.[1] Their musical style has been mainly described as EDM,[2][3][4] dance-rock,[3] and dance-pop.[5] However, Krewella's style has been influenced by a number of electronic sub genres, including progressive house, electro, dubstep, drum and bass, trap music and future bass.[6]
Their debut EP, Play Hard, was released on June 18, 2012, exclusively on Beatport, followed by its release on other digital platforms on June 26, 2012.[7] Later, their debut album, Get Wet, was released on September 24, 2013, on iTunes.[8]
The band consists of sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf.[1] Originally a trio, their third member and producer Kristopher Trindl left the band in 2014.[9] The band's name stems from Jahan's misspelling of the word "cruel" when the two began writing music, and is not a reference to Cruella de Vil.[10]
