Murder By Guitar

CRIME's latest album, "Murder By Guitar," is a raucous, rebellious romp through the world of punk rock. From the moment the first chord is struck, you're transported to a dingy, sweaty basement venue where the music is loud, the drinks are cheap, and the energy is electric. The album kicks off with the blistering opening track, "Sonic Reducer," a frenetic assault on the senses that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Frontman Johnny Strike's snarling vocals cut through the relentless guitar work with a ferocity that is both exhilarating and slightly terrifying. Tracks like "Frustration" and "Rock & Roll Enemy No. 1" showcase CRIME's ability to channel their anger and frustration into blistering anthems that will have you pogo-ing around your living room in no time. The band's no-frills approach to songwriting and performance gives the album a gritty, authentic feel that is sorely lacking in today's music scene. While "Murder By Guitar" may not reinvent the wheel when it comes to punk rock, it certainly reminds us why this genre has endured for so long. CRIME has crafted an album that is unapologetically loud, brash, and unapologetically fun. So grab a beer, turn up the volume, and let CRIME take you on a wild ride through the seedy underbelly of punk rock. You won't regret it.
