From Seattle, WA, THE CRIPPLES open up every single sore, every ugliness, take modern life and cast it into synthesized garage punk. Call it a Neuromancer garage aesthetic. This record's got REAL catchy songs and a stiletto-spiked garage attitude. They've got electronic synth sounds that totally annihilate the stock presets that whimper on every other "band-with-a-keyboard" record. Sensitive DEPECHE MODE this ain't. THE CRIPPLES are on the SCREAMERS side of the galaxy. Still don't get it? Ok, imagine if ADD N TO (X) played pop songs. Imagine if JOY DIVISION played Freedom Of Choice. We've got yer REAL drums, REAL bass, and two guys with keyboards strapped around their necks! Featuring hard-hitting, genre-bending tunes - starting at WIRE and DEVO, driving through PUSSY GALORE and early MODERN LOVERS - this album blasts white noise to the surface in such a way that even GUITAR WOLF would be envious.
