Dirty Head (CD)
You know all those emotional cripples you've tried to ignore? Yeah, you know, people so broken you don't even want to look? This band knows them all too well. From Seattle, WA, THE CRIPPLES open up every single sore, every ugliness, take modern life and cast it into synthesized garage punk. Call it a Neuromancer garage aesthetic. This record's got REAL catchy songs and a stiletto-spiked garage attitude. They've got electronic synth sounds that totally annihilate the stock presets that whimper on every other "band-with-a-keyboard" record. Sensitive Depeche Mode this ain't. THE CRIPPLES are on the SCREAMERS side of the galaxy. Still don't get it? Ok, imagine if ADD N TO (X) played pop songs. Imagine if JOY DIVISION played Freedom Of Choice. We've got yer REAL drums, REAL bass, and two guys with keyboards strapped around their necks! Featuring hard-hitting, genre-bending tunes -- starting at WIRE and DEVO, driving through PUSSY GALORE and early MODERN LOVERS -- this album blasts white noise to the surface in such a way that even Guitar Wolf would be envious. This is music for people who want more than just a band with a keyboard and a faux attitude. People like YOU!
