The Crispies - Ring My Doorstep (feat. Superfertig)

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.

The Orwells, PARTYBABY and The White Stripes.

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?”

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.

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

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.

8. Any more words?

Mr Waller has delineated the meaning behind his song, “What I mean by 'Love Won’t Last Forever' is that love is more than just the bubbly feelings during the honeymoon phase. To me, true love is a commitment to being there for somebody regardless of the circumstances. It’s an equally beautiful and terrifying thing. It’s part of why I’m resistant to long-term commitments, dating, marriage, etc. But also, I think unconditional love is something everyone desires to some degree.”

“I’ve been around the block a few times and I’ve tried to ignite”
