Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled from early rehearsal tapes and primal studio sessions, this release offers an unvarnished glimpse into the chaotic genesis of the New York power trio. 'Crypt Style' presents alternate takes and rawer mixes of tracks that also appeared on their eponymous debut, prioritizing sheer volume and distorted grit over fidelity. The record perfectly captures the band's ferocious deconstruction of American roots music through a frantic, punk-rock lens.
