CRACKUPS is a band of extremes: insanely fast, tight, unbelievably loud, yet with a sharp sense of melody and an ear for detail. Their debut album 'Animals On Acid' (2011) quickly gained cult status, further reinforced by the fact that the band hit the pause button shortly thereafter, for an indefinite period. But CRACKUPS always feels like coming home, and in 2019 the band resurfaces. Their second album 'Greetings From Earth' is the musical equivalent of a quadruple espresso: strong garage punk in seven songs and under 18 minutes. The third album is set to be released later this year. The first single, 'Sgt. Haze', leaves no room for ambiguity. It's still fruitless and, to everyone's relief, the search for the handbrake continues. Straightforward with no secrets. Inspired by a record collection that could belong to their parents, Black Flag and Devo meet Viagra Boys and Warmduscher.
