Crashed Out – Crash & Burn
January 27, 2011
Back in 2007, Big Wheel reviewed and praised Crashed Out's "Pearls Before Swine". Approximately four years later, Crashed Out's newest release "Crash & Burn" has been given to us to listen to, and I can say with confidence that this album is just as great as "Pearls Before Swine". Crashed Out has polished the melodic Punk rock sound they always possessedand have infused some ska influences into their style. The album is full of catchy anthems such as "Break it Down" and "Son of a Gun".
If you're a fan of music like Rancid, Swingin' Utters, or Stiff Little Fingers, then "Crash & Burn" will satisfy your musical desires. I hope in the next few years when Crashed Out puts out another album, it's just as good of a listen as "Pearls Before Swine" and "Crash & Burn". They play mostly in Europe and we can only hope that someday fans here in the United States can be treated with a tour by a band of this caliber.
