Dear Diary,
Gloom, doom, rain, term papers. Hell is all around me and I have no escape. Luckily, there is the Crazy Spirit demo. Though I do not put "snakes in my veins" to "try, try to get away" (as go the lyrics to "Snakes", the opening track here,) I do take solace in finding the appropriate tunes to match my mood, in this case dementia.
Seeing Crazy Spirit live is unforgettable. They had this spectacular, tubular, warm, round sound that you don't get much at a punk show. It matched their bizarre brand of punk brilliantly. To this day I'm convinced that the entire band was dressed in First Nation revival style (I remember seeing war paint and feathers). In any case this demo rules.
Here are a substantial ten tracks of audio collage and demented mid-tempo punk which sometimes reminds me of the Germs, and at others DOA. Their rhythms are weird (lots of rolls and syncopated snare), their production quality is raw (cardboard studio style), and their songs are all pretty damn well-written. Walker, their vocalist sounds like Lemmy if he were a four foot tall baby trapped in an old man's body. Favorite tracks include "Slimy Leech," "Devil's Daughter," "I'm Dead," and "Snakes".
The band has several singles on the horizon coming out on Toxic State and Que Punk, so keep an eye out for those.
