Debut Album From The Legless Crabs

The most punk thing we've heard in a long long time

Sounds that remind us of other Texan greats the Butthole Surfers, Jeffrey Lewis & the Moving Sidewalks

Amerika as it is now through the filter of raw fuzzed out guitars crashing beats and deadpan lyricism.


REVIEW

The debut proper from the Texas Punk rockers The Legless Crabs is upon us, and what a fine LP it is too. Discordant guitar, ramshackle drums, echo laden vocals and off beat lyrics takes us to the strange world they inhabit. Pussy Galore, The Jesus And Mary Chain and The Shaggs are fine reference points, but placed into a glittering concrete music mixer to supply a musical house art all of its own making; a place where Roky Erickson would happily reside. The 13th Floor elevators are also brought to mind especially on my personal favourite, the wonderfully spaced out ‘Not The Good Kind’, which starts out as almost strange lounge punk and then erupts into waves of feedback, a track of pure wonder which perfectly fits on this album of pure wonders. I can say, without a doubt in my mind, one of the albums of the year.

The Legless Crabs – Not The Good Kind
There are tracks of distorted psychedelic brilliance full of beauty, disgrace and magic and then there is this track by the legless crabs ,which contains all this, but so much more, it contains the distilled spirit of Jesus and Mary chain blended with the affront and experimental discourse of Faust. It is in fact, pure musical genius .
