Crusties, The

Crustunes

THE CRUSTIES are a legendary, extremely tight, early/mid 80's, Milwaukee WI based band known for playing fast aggressive hardcore putting their own take on how it should be played. Their music pushes hardcore past the limits, and expands upon what most bands bands were doing at that time. They integrated interesting guitar parts along with super-swift tempo changes and stops. They threw in an occasional trumpet riff along with overt and aggressive jazz influences. It all combined to make up one of the fastest playing and musically unique bands, ever. Every time they played, it was obvious these guys were having a blast, but they took these songs (and their musicianship) very seriously. Practicing several times a week was not uncommon for these guys. Neither was their singers propensity for blowing giant balls of fire out of his mouth at shows! From 1984 until 1987 THE CRUSTIES played any number of shows in their hometown of Milwaukee, as well as many neighboring states. They even got a few tours under their belts, traveling the Midwest and Southern United States. They opened for legendary bands like THE CIRCLE JERKS, MEAT PUPPETS, HUSKER DU, SAM HAIN, MDC, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, along with MOTORHEAD and THE BODEANS. After THE CRUSTIES opened up for THE DEAD KENNEDY'S Jello Biafra remarked how THE CRUSTIES were a breath of fresh air. In 1987, with their singer moving to Austin TX, THE CRUSTIES went on hiatus. They managed to get together once a year to do play shows, when their singer would come back to visit. So they never really broke up. And now, Beer City Skateboards and Records is proud to bring you THE CRUSTIES on their first and only full length album: THE CRUSTIES - CRUSTUNES.
