Crumb Cult play a fast and driving style of hardcore that has just a touch of noisy moments and a few well placed tempo changes where they do one of my favorite things in hardcore- screaming over just bass and drums.
You can hear a gritty and not-so-clean sound coming out of this demo, and it suits the vocals quite well. Slower tempo'd track "Siren" gives the demo a feel of being a little longer (in a good way) than the 4 1/2 minutes that this four song demo delivers. The demo closes out with dual 1 minute blasts with the fast to choppy "Three can keep a secret if two are dead" and the stop/start pounding of "Golden Harvest." All in all, a band that I'm very excited to hear more from, and very interested in seeing live.
Currently, the band is working on songs for a planned 10-song full length and as of about two weeks ago, was still without a label- so any of you label types out there, take notice. Not that it needs to be mentioned, but these guys have been in plenty of bands, bands you've heard of and bands you haven't. It's not that something like should matter so much as, you can expect that these guys are up to good things and know what they're doing. Give it a spin- its new and its good.
