Get It Gone - Crash Through

Crash Through are an underground band from Sydney, Australia that produce a raucous mix of loud, ragged, often improvised music. Their musical morning tea often consists of sandwiches filled with rock, art, indie, blues, and noise, whilst guests can been seen sipping on the occasional brew of punk and even funk elements.

They formed in 2008 when Phil, Tim and Rich decided to combine their years of experience playing in separate obscure Sydney bands and form the ultimate obscure Sydney band. They are particularly useless at writing band biographies, have no talent for self-promotion, and thus find themselves in a bit of a tough situation since they've finally recorded their masterpiece and want to tell the world about it.

Their debut album, 'Beautiful Ragged Mayhem' is a sonic journey through rock, folk and miscellany that combines tales of the ragged side of Sydney life with observations on the state of the world... with a song about milk crates. It doesn't really fit into a genre, their references aren't obvious, but it's a damn good album that stays true to its story from start to finish. If you're looking for the perfect blend of 'dub-indie-folk' with 'hispanic-food-metal', you probably need to look somewhere else, but if you're looking for something fresh that stands on its own as a singular piece of music and makes you feel things you haven't felt for years, 'Beautiful Ragged Mayhem' is for you.

Crash Through launch 'Beautiful Ragged Mayhem' Friday September 17th at the Annandale.
