And if cancer’s going to fill my body then maybe nicotine
Was always the right answer and I just gave up too easily.
She said, “You’re staring out the windows
And you’re just screaming at the walls.
And you’re just crawling out of your skin now
And there ain’t nothing there at all.”
I guess I figured it out. I guess I figured it out.
That when I hear voices in my head that
That’s the darkness coming over me.
I guess I figured it out. I guess I figured it out.
That when I see shadows climbing walls
And I’m just too afraid to sleep.
That when I hear footsteps down the hall that
That’s the darkness crawling over me.
And if cancer’s going to fill my body then maybe gasoline
Was always the right answer and I just need a fire to come clean.
The Canadian pop-punk band deliver their biggest-sounding album to date, rooted in full-bodied production and cheery nihilism. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 5, 2022
High-wire minimalist post-punk of the finest sort: the poetry of daily banality spit over molten guitar solos and elastic rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 20, 2017
This is absolutely the best new punk band at the moment. This record sees Crusades in their raw element evoking sounds of dark punk rock with pure adrenaline to the ears. Tracks include "Driven" with an old AFI/Misfits feel and the Jesus and Mary Chain influenced "Serpentine". Robby Griffith
