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 was 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.

I've been feeling this demo since I snagged a copy at that SQRM gig they played down the hall. Oddly, "When Faces Change" is one of my favs.
My verification word for this comment was 'phipsy'.
like the sound of this, look forward to checking them out
this is pretty cool shit.
thanks heaps.
mine is 'ablita'. to be honest, i think i'd like a slightly higher quality recording. agreed on "when faces change".
Lemmy is a four foot tall baby trapped in an old man's body.
LOL @ Walker being described as a four foot tall baby
Also, while I haven't heard them, I'm told the new recordings were NOT recorded in a trash can like the demo.

also, new recordings sound MUCH better.
This rules. Thanks. You should upload the Dawn of Humans demo if you've got it. They seem to play together a bit and they're really good too.
in case anyone was wondering, the sample at the end with the little boy talking is from jesus camp.
If this is what recording in a trash can sounds like, I'm all for it. Haha.
Cheers for the info harris.
I'll definitely check that out.
but without the audial garbage can aesthetic, "When Faces Change" wouldn't sound the same. it's the intent of punk to go to shows, not just collect records.........
thanks for this. i'm looking forward to future stuff from these kids.
