Diné (Navajo Nation) singer/songwriter James Bilagody joining sounds with The Cremains, a hard
rock band anchored by their Native identity in this never before heard fusion of
modem and traditional sounds. Propelled by the heavy guitar driven soul of The
Cremains, Bilagody’s songs evoke the ancient ways of the Dine as they travel the
modem world.James Bilagody was exposed to traditional Navajo music by his aunt and uncle as
a young boy. This love of music would develop into a lifelong passion. As a
young man he was introduced to the music of Elvis Presley and was attracted to
the sounds of rock and roll. Bilagody briefly worked as a DJ at the radio
station KRCL in Salt Lake City, Utah and also at KGHR in Tuba City, Arizona.

Wolf and in 1998 on

they released their first independent album, Hate You. They also released
a three song EP in 2000. Their singular style of songwriting and performing
