Bio
The independent record label Radio is Down of Olympia, Washington, USA, proudly presents its new, sixteenth release - the debut album by Croatia’s Cripple and Casino.
Matt Lebens, the owner of Radio is Down, heard the band through their MySpace page. Several songs, recorded in Cripple and Casino’s practice space with one microphone, to a minidisc taken out from a trashcan by a friend of the band, composed and played with minimal technical skill were promising enough for Lebens, so in the sum...
Press
“This is a band thoughtful enough to mix the various elements and quirks of their heroes (without sounding like five different band at ones) from the late 80's and 90's DC hardcore/punk, the "real" stripped down and explosive emo of the 90s, Sonic Youth, early Built To Spill, Wipers, Girls. Vs. Boys and Jesus Lizard (just check out the trade off between drum and bass). Only, their stomping ground happens to be in Zagreb. Not California, Illinois, New York, or what have you. At this point, it is probably quite apparent that CRIPPLE AND CASINO is no revelation. But here is a tank full of excitement, passion for the "craft", and damn good song writing. Furthermore, it works. The final product is contagious. I challenge you to not get caught up in what's on display - the sheer thrill of a band that just realized they may have mastered a sound, so to speak. It would be a shame if you'd overlook this record.”
