Crazy Clue Where the Dregs Dwell LP
Hardcore heavyweights collide on Where the Dregs Dwell, the first offering from UK/Canadian crossover CRAZY CLUE. Featuring the dynamic duo that is FUCKED UP’s Jonah Falco and Mike Haliechuk backing the inimitable Bobby Cole of TOTAL CON and the ANNIHILATED on vocals, CRAZY CLUE presents a style of off-kilter, mutated hardcore with all of the bells and whistles. Songs barrel along at a feverish pace, as the buzzy, manic production surrounds a tightly-wound rhythm section and wildly nasty riffs, the whole thing dotted with pops of unsettling electronics and Cole’s breathless delivery. I’m reminded of both ELECTRIC CHAIR and S.H.I.T., two bands who have left me chasing the high off of their respective last LPs; this fills that void quite nicely. Highly recommended.
