The Crispies - Ring My Doorstep (feat. Superfertig)




1. Who are The Crispies? 

The Crispies are a garage/punk band from Vienna, Austria. They have been raising Valhalla since 2014 and Ring My Doorstep (March'17) is the fourth single from their debut album Death Row Kids (Oct'16). 


2. What kind of tune are they kicking it with?

Ring My Doorstep is a primal re-invention of Queen's Will We Will Rock You; stripped down to the bone and with grit not glam. Hip hop and punk rock come together into a song that swaggers into the party, oozing intensity and as cool as fuck. Slam-poet Anna adds some twist to the vodka.


3. Who do The Crispies sound like? 

The Orwells, PARTYBABY and The White Stripes. 


4. What is the good word from the press in regards to Ring My Doorstep

“Loud and raw” – Spill Magazine. 

“We call it strut-rock” – Super World Indie Tunes. 

“A punk manifesto” – FYH.






5. Which bands have inspired The Crispies? 

They have some love for Ezra Furman and Bass Drum Of Death.


6. Why should I listen to Ring My Doorstep

Because you love We Will Rock You. Because you want to listen to young wolves tearing it up. Because you want to listen to a band that matters.


7. What are The Crispies best songs?

Bad Blood is visceral. Noose'N'Go is a lackadaisical rattler. Outta The Sun races out of the blocks, primitive and dangerous. 


8. Any last words? 

The band all graduated music college together and are all left-handed. Makes for a convenient circle jerk.


“Said I’m lookin’ for a girl, need a woman”







St. Tropez are a garage punk band from Amsterdam, Holland. They have been tearing it up (in their recent reincarnation) since 2014 and have one long player in the vault. St. Tropez’s favorite music varies from Dinosaur Jr. and Wilco to Bach. They sound like Beck crossed with The Stooges. Democracy (Feb’17) is the lead single from their E.P. Debate (Feb’17) and is a greedy garage riff backing a hip hop influenced vocal delivery with a harsh word to say about the current political climate. 

“Are you scared to fight? Are you scared to choose?”

The Crispies - Noose'N'Go




1.    Who are these try hards?

These ne'er-do-wells are The Crispies, a garage punk-pop band from Austria, Vienna. The Crispies have been whinging about how good they've got it since 2014 and have one album to their name. Noose'N'Go (Oct'16) is the second single off their debut album Death Row Kids (Oct'16).


2. Has the tune got the goods?

Oh fuck yeah. Noose'N'Go rolls along at a lackadaisical speed but the drums thump at heartbeat pace, a rusty riff rides point and the vocals wail along. A slow-burner but a primal, garagey, masterpiece emerges covered in welts and stinking of piss and blood.


3. Who do these rock lords sound like?

The Jesus and Mary Chain, Cloud Nothings and The Arctic Monkeys (if they had sand). 


4. What's the good word from the press? 

“Unrelenting” – The Gap. 

“Piercing vocals embody emotional desperation” – Music Export. 

“Another belting track from one of the greatest new bands in rock’n’roll” – YouTube Comments. 





5. Which bands have put the squeeze on The Crispies?

Two of the bands to inspire The Crispies are Bass Drum Of Death and Ezra Furman.


6. Why should I give Noose'N'Go a lash? 

The tune is primal. Nasty. Dark. 


7. Do these lads have any more bangers?

Bad Blood is the band's best. A skeezy, stripped down punk track that sashays through the door of the club with swagger and then proceeds to propel the heaving mass of humanity, one and all, to Valhalla.


8. Any more words chubby whacker?

This band of brothers all graduated from the same music school together and are all left-handed.



“She don’t know, where to go”








44th Sunset are an indie pop band from Perth, Australia. They have recorded a few E.P.'s and sound a bit like New Politics, Youngblood Hawke or Young The Giant. 44th Sunset are influenced by Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park and Jay Z. In 2014 they had their debut single Caesar (2012) when they were 17 years old.  Caesar is a mainstream indie pop-rock cracker and a song ABC described as “super catchy indie pop.”

       2. How does Bad Blood stack up? 

     Bad Blood is a stripped down, skeezy, punk track that sashays it's way into your heart full of confidence and with it's seductive hips swaying. The classic sound of a guitar plugged into an amp kicks this bitch into action followed by a slow stomp with sharp lead licks tossed off willy nilly. Bad Blood reeks of piss and blood in a basement gig where the music is propelling a heaving mass of humanity toward divinity.

           6. Why should I give Bad Blood a lash? 

Bad Blood captures the gritty escence of garage rock and the moment that visceral music transcends this earthly realm and launches us into nirvana.

      
7. Do The Crispies have any more crackers?

Mercy isn't too shabby.


     8. Any more words chief?

     The four band members all graduated from the same music school together at the same time and are all left-handed.



“We're gonna cough blood”







      
     APES are a garage rock band from Ballarat, Australia, who fight out of Melbourne at the minute. The band have been compared to Foals and Queens Of The Stone Age and have an E.P and a single on their roll call of honor. A debut album is due in October. APES are a raw, gut punching band that have scored support slots for luminaries such as Royal Blood, Band Of Skulls and FIDLAR. Pull The Trigger (2014) is APES at their best; a tune with a cracking riff up front, a raw, stripped back sound and a massive chorus. Get some.
