The Croissants - Buzzkill

  The Croissants return today with a standout track from their new album, That's Tight! The Sacramento trio previously appeared here in 2014 with their outsider anthem We're In The Basement (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/the-croissants-were-in-basement.html). Not only have they a new album, there's also a new ep that features 3 tracks that aren't on That's Tight! but 2 of which will appear on the "upcoming debut lp Summer School Again." Bit confusing but that's because That's Tight! is a compilation whilst Summer School Again will be all new songs. Anyway, check out Bandcamp for the music : https://croissants.bandcamp.com/


  The song you'll find below is on That's Tight! and also appeared on the 2016 split ep with Charles Albright. It's a Ramones inspired 68 second gem called Buzzkill.....

The Croissants - We're In The Basement

  Here's a great song from earlier this year by a band that's new to me. The Croissants comprise of Chris "Gabba" Sabatoni (guitars/vocals), Hans White (bass) and Heather Crocker (drums), they hail from Sacramento and I think they got together in 2010. Their debut single, Braindead Airhead, saw the light of day in 2011 and this was followed in 2013 with a split 7" with Union Hearts (you can get those early releases, name your price, on their bandcamp : http://croissants.bandcamp.com/ ).
  The song that's impressed me so much is the Ramones worshipping, bass driven We're In The Basement. An outsider anthem, they don't hang out with your crowd, they don't even leave the house. It's not reinventing the wheel but it's bloody effective and leaves you wanting more. Play Loud.......
