"...a cool EP that takes some familiar sounds — attitude-fueled garage punk, breezier indie rock, and a slight Americana twang — and fuses them together in ways that feel fresh."

Stream Crasher’s debut EP, ‘Traitor’, in its entirety via BrooklynVegan, here.
Crasher is a newly formed San Diego-based band comprised of Dave Meade (Exasperation) and AJ Peacox (Weatherbox, Future Crooks). Though he is not on the EP's recording, Crasher has also enlisted Jordan Krimston (of Miss New Buddha, Band Argument, and Weatherbox) to join on drums moving forward, when they are able to tour again.
Crasher’s debut release is, in a sense, a trojan horse- catchy pop songs housing dark undertones, creating cathartic music from a place of processing unpleasant experiences. Much of the major lyrical content is heavy: con-men who promise futures to people, only to leave their lives in ruins. Relationships that grow tenuous and fall apart, followed by the realization that they never should have happened to begin with. The processing of grief that comes with emerging out the other side of an endless, seemingly dark tunnel, and the disbelief that something that was a reality for so long can finally be over.
But with these concepts can also come lightness. In fact, the title for the EP comes from a place of humor-- explains Dave Mead: “A friend who is also a drummer saw a show at Soda Bar [a venue in San Diego] and wrote a one word review of my switch from drums to frontman: ‘Traitor.’”
Traitor comes out May 8th. Preorder, here.
