Debut Self-Titled Album Out This Spring on Blady Longhair Records!
Stream "King Kong" from Crazy & The Brains here!
In support of their upcoming debut full-length album out this Spring on Baldy Longhair Records, New York garage-punk four-piece Crazy & The Brains have premiered their new single "King Kong" on the band's own YouTube channel (also available to purchase on the label's website here).
In addition, the band is announcing a series of upcoming New York appearances, including the city's Anti-Folk festival taking place on February 23rd (full tour dates below).
About Crazy & The Brains:
Crazy & The Brains originally formed as a two piece anti-folk/punk act by friends Chris Urban and Jeff Rubin. For the first few years of their existence, the duo performed around the NYC anti-folk scene at places such as the Sidewalk Café while releasing their first two EPs through Crafty Records. Shortly afterwards, the band added brothers Brett and Lawrence Miller on bass and drums respectfully becoming a four piece and full band. The new additions took Crazy & The Brains from their more lo-fi folk aesthetic to a fuller sounding (albeit still quirky) garage punk sound, and found them signed to the newly formed Baldy Longhair Records, a New Jersey-based record label dedicated to releasing all forms of punk rock on analog.
Since joining Baldy Longhair, Crazy & The Brains have released a six-song EP titled “Don’t Need No Snacks,” as well as contributed three songs to a split 7” titled “Are On The Other Side” with label-mates and friends The Disconnects, who they later toured the States with as a co-headlining summer US tour in 2012.
In the last year the band premiered three music videos on Blank TV for their songs “Let Me Go”, “Saturday Night Live”, and “It’s Alright,” and has been compared to the likes of The Moldy Peaches, Black Lips and The Dead Milkmen. Recorded at SpeakerSonic in Brooklyn, NY and Produced/Engineered by Brian Speaker, the band's yet-to-be titled release will be their first full length album.
