The Crash Kings are coming to play Boston's EARTH FEST, a free festival on May 22 (Saturday @ 11am-5PM) This band is full of super nice guys with an amazing musical range. When they step on stage you'll notice there's no guitarist, and no he didn't get shitfaced the night before and go M.I.A. he just doesn't exist. The lead instrument is a clavinet with a whammy bar that Tony Beliveau plays the hell out of. Tony, and brother Mike the bassist, are originally from Andover (and I think the drummer is from Easton?), so this is a local band. You can quote me on this: This band will be one of the top bands in the States within the next year. Their 2nd CD will be killer.
"Mountain Man" is a sick song, and it sits at #1 on the US Alternative charts, as well has peaking pretty high on a number of other charts. The first time most people hear this song they will think of Jack White with Bonham drums...to have people hear that kind of sound in your music and then go onto have the other sounds like these tracks below is pretty versatile.
This is their next single, You Got Me. This is going to follow Mountain man right to the top
Then this tune "1985" is a no-brainer to have as a third single, it's the kind of song that has you singing along halfway through the first time you listen to it, without even knowing what the hell lyrics your singing. And this song really showcases what the clavinet brings to the band's sound. A lot of bands come out and fall flat because they can't play live like how they play in the studio. Tony has said that the Crash Kings vision from the very beginning was to have a huge live sound. And thanks to Tony being a child prodigy on the keys, it sounds great live as well as recorded in studio.
But this is my personal favorite track, "My Love" sounds like The Beatles, more McCartney with Wings. This song SHOULD be a single, but America is all about More Rock, Less Talk.
