REVIEW: Crash & The Crapenters – ‘Species Du Faeces’

Never ones to play by the rules, Sydney’s Crash & The Crapenters are keeping the raw energy of punk alive while flipping expectations on their head. Their latest EP ‘Species Du Faeces’ finds the band pushing their sound into new and unpredictable territory, blending their ferocious roots with a more dynamic and exploratory approach.

From the unapologetic intensity of opener ‘All Geared Up’ to the tongue-in-cheek grunge homage ‘Depression (Smells Like Middle Aged Spirit),’ this release proves the band is as unfiltered and inventive as ever. Whether they are exploring a darkened energy for ‘The Devil’s In The Detail’ or seeing us off with the euphoric ‘Off The Bricks’, each track lands with a riotous punch, channelling their signature mix of fury, satire, and social commentary, all while refusing to be boxed into a single sound.

With their reputation for relentless energy and boundary-pushing punk continuing to grow, ‘Species Du Faeces’ continues to cement Crash & The Crapenters as a force to be reckoned with. Explosive, irreverent, and impossible to ignore, this EP showcases a band constantly striving to evolve themselves all while staying true to their rebellious core.
