CRASHFACE have announced a new EP!

Titled Life And Death In The Wasteland, the upcoming EP from the alternative punk duo is the follow-up to last year’s Prototype EP, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via self-release.

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Maniac. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W., and features a guest appearance from Sam Matlock of WARGASM.

Speaking about the new single, and the new EP, the band says, “this one is for embracing crazy. Continuing on from the story of C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W, Maniac persists with venom in expressing frustration with the modern world, specifically the music industry (The Wasteland), especially in what it’s forcing artists to do in order to be ‘relevant’. Our brother-in-crime JAW has made this video what it is and knocked it out the park yet again. We wanted it to maintain an Edgar Wright-esque jagged edge while staying true to our aesthetics, and I think we’ve nailed it. And massive shout-out to the legendary Slim Jim‘s in London for letting us do this super last minute! I had the song idea for a while but got pretty stuck, then showed it to Sam while we were hanging out and he was all in. The man is chaos but it’s exactly what this chapter needed. And it’s a cute 360 because Sam actually helped me write and record the first ever CRASHFACE song, the solo in System At It is him playing! So it’s pretty fitting that he’s helping us kick off our third EP.”
