Crudia - Self-Titled CD & Demos 2006-2015

Hard siege of d-beat (and c-beat, and generic-beat because that's what 99% of d-beat is: just a generic beat) noise. While the global ubiquity of that style may induce yawns these years...I dunno where to go with that, I just like Crudia. The band tends towards the energetic side of discore, but doesn't move entirely into Crasher Crust speed. The guitars on the CD especially are outstanding, totally sandblasting with a mid-range depth that reminds me of proper power electronics. Production overall is dry yet sharp. The demos sound typical, neither good nor bad minus the annoying digital-crinkling of the guitar on the 2nd demo. Fun stuff. Period.
