CRASHER + Aversionline

"The group's debut four-song EP, Traitor, was recorded as a duo with AJ Peacox on bass (Jordan Krimston has since joined on drums) and kicks out a really nice batch of alternative/indie rock tunes that are both jangly and restrained as well as punky and energetic...You might not catch just how much it's stuck with you until later in the day when you realize that you've got a little looped guitar riff, vocal snippet, or roving bassline acting as a secret soundtrack in the back of your mind."
- Aversionline

Crasher formed in summer of 2019 in San Diego. Dave Mead (Exasperation) had been writing songs on guitar in the background of his life as a serious post-punk drummer. With a few years of family tragedy and some compounded thoughts on a lost and misled America to reflect on, he eventually stood up from the drums to yell disjointed lyrics and play some grinding guitar chords. Driven by his anger with the experience of the failed state of healthcare regarding the death of his mother to early onset Alzheimer’s disease, the con-men turning the gears along the way, and his own personal grief of losing a family member in such a cruel and slow manner, Crasher created an outlet and, in time, some solace for Mead. Moving forward, AJ Peacox (Weatherbox, Future Crooks) joined on bass. Jordan Krimston (Band Argument, Weatherbox, Miss New Buddha) has since joined up on drums for future live performances.

Traitor will be available digitally on May 8th. Preorder, here.
