Early in 1985, looking for a sharper edge, they added a second guitarist, fellow Baldwin resident Chuck Lenihan, and replaced Carroll with a local 16-year-old drummer, Dan Richardson. Lenihan’s metal-influenced guitar solos contrasted with Wynn’s blues-based offerings. Both Crumbsuckers’ lyrics and musical direction took a notable turn towards a more metal edge, with songs such as “Life of Dreams” and “Return to the Womb” written around this time.
