West Coast rockers Crymwav return with Sense of Journey, a monitor that captures their uncooked punk power with a darkish, gothic edge.
Fashioned in 2022 from the remnants of Los Angeles band Smash Style, Crymwav brings collectively Roger Deering, Lloyd Stuart Casson, Greg Rogers, and Bruce Braddock. The band members, all from the same musical background, had been formed by the American hardcore scene of the ’80s, in addition to influences from punk, post-punk, goth, and NWOBHM, citing acts like Skinny Lizzy, UFO, and The Ruts as key inspirations.
For frontman Roger Deering, the thought for Crymwav took form throughout a keep in London:
‘Crymwav began to return collectively for me whereas I used to be staying in London round 3 years in the past. I went to London to go to my girlfriend who was staying in Ladbroke Grove, a songwriting spree got here to me..I needed to channel the bands from that space.. Hawkwind, Conflict, Killing Joke, Motörhead, and I got here again to LA with a fistful of songs.’
Constructing on the momentum of their 2023 EP 24/7—praised by Basic Rock and Guitar World Journal—and their 2024 single Contagious, Crymwav now unleash Sense of Journey. The monitor fuses their high-energy punk sound with the goth-infused aesthetics of bands like The Damned. Add a dose of swagger, and the result’s a rock anthem with a severe perspective.
Musically, Sense of Journey grabs maintain with an irresistible hook, mixing danceable grooves and a rhythm part that retains the power excessive. The refrain “The place’s your sense of journey? You’re simply not enjoyable anymore.” delivers a punchy, memorable second. On the identical time, the guitar solo provides an exciting edge, assured to ship shivers down your backbone.
“Sense of Journey is a relentless rock banger that pairs sharp musicianship with a hanging aesthetic and an simple perspective.”
To enhance the track, a visually hanging music video directed by Joe Cardamone captures the band’s dynamic presence.
London followers can catch Crymwav dwell on the iconic Cart & Horses on March 28, sharing the stage with Syteria—that includes Girlschool’s Jackie Chambers—and Star Circus. Anticipate an evening filled with high-energy rock and electrifying performances.
