Cronies' new album, L1V3 S1CK0 L0V3 F3ST, is out today on Reptilian Records.
Euphoric melodies and hard grooves clash with scorched tones and unhinged vocals in Cronies' fresh, young take on early '90s vibes. Cronies' bounce and vigor are likely to stoke the fires of old heads who grew up on Rage Against The Machine, Helmet, Butthole Surfers, and Beastie Boys, and will convert fans of current rippers like Turnstile and Show Me The Body. The NYC band is on tour now and will celebrate their official record release show this weekend at the nation's preeminent noise rock festival, No Coast Fest.

"Cronies are an exciting new band hailing from New York City... Uplifting melodies, striking grooves, and manic vocals. With a nod to nineties noise rock and post hardcore... channels the spirit of Helmet and Rage Against The Machine among other past greats."
–Destroy//Exist
"Literally, it’s a hardcore record, and a hell of a fun one at that. The NYC quartet are far beyond channeling only aggression – much like the punk institutions that came before them (anywhere from Beastie Boys to Turnstile), L1V3 S1CK0 L0VE F3ST is multifaceted, even pulling in some classic grunge tones and progressively psychedelic climaxes to color in the journey... 'Ice Pop (Tastes Like Love)' is one of my favorite songs of the year."
–Everything Is Noise
"[L1V3 S1CK0 L0VE F3ST] flits between grunge-era noise rock buzzers, late 90’s post-hardcore pump, and a sort of aggro spoken cadence which isn’t as abstract in effect as something like Show Me the Body but might appeal to fans of scatterbrained noise rock sludginess a la Chat Pile."
–Grizzly Butts
"A harmonious blend of indie rock, post hardcore, blues infused noise rock... A hypnotic concoction of scorched tones and visceral vocals."
–Idioteq
"Classic punked-up, grungy rock that sets aside the dreary attitude and embodies a mood worthy of a skateboard hill bomb in summer with friends. Guitar tones have crunchy textures, drums are positively locomotive in their movement and ceaselessness, and the emotive vocals smack of '90s Beastie Boys when they started using more effects."
–Lambgoat
"On New York City grunge-punks Cronies’ second album, they prove whey they are one of the most exciting young bands to come out of the Big Apple in a long time. While their sound may harken back to the noise-punk of the 90’s, their modern spin on these classic sounds puts them right up there with contemporaries in Show Me The Body and Venus Twins."

"Some New York City cockpunchers take a grungy old flannel shirt from the ’90s, soak it in a filthy bathtub of LSD — and then shove it down your goddamn throat."
