Crestfallen

(Robotic Empire)
by Adrian Bromley

Lunging at us with knives out and a maniacal agenda at hand, Virginia’s Crestfallen surges with a ferocious appetite on this five-song EP. A vibrant mixture of grind/noisecore/metal and punk, the EP sees the band delivering a very “live” vibe, as if you’re witnessing the band right there in your living room. Along with the blistering opening track, “Blacklashed,” Crestfallen go to work on us with the real emotional drive of closer “Early to Bed. Early to Rise Again.” Wow! This EP is definitely not for the faint of heart or anyone who doesn’t like to be knocked around, because there is no safe zone here. Be sure to check out hidden covers of Minor Threat and The Cramps: Goofy, but kinda neat.
