Crackups - White Fruit (Guest Review By Dirk Ceustermans)

    


  Dirk Ceustermans makes a welcome return today to recommend that you all check out a quartet (Thomas, Niels, Toon & Siebe) from Antwerp called Crackups (https://www.facebook.com/crackupsband/

  Over to Dirk...

  Now here's a band you need to check out. In the series, "Never mind the beer and chocolats, here's Belgian bands" I present to you this brand new 12" release. A mini lp full of blistering garagy punk that drives on like a steamroller on steroids. Those kids already earned some recognition (ahum!) when some of them tried their luck in their childhood years in a band called X!nk and were sent in to represent Belgium on a Eurosong for kids edition in 2003.

  Ooops, zap quickly to the next phase, entering 2008 when first signs of the Crackups appeared with a tape release full of snotty obnoxious tracks. They sort of went into a hiatus around the middle of previous decade when some guys joined other bands such as Sun Power and Double Veterans. 
But early 2020 saw them return with a 7" (Floor) and now a mini LP titled Greetings From Earth dropped another bomb on Flanders' fields.

Two words come to mind, when listening to this gem: GET THIS!




  This track is called White Fruit...
