Crash & the Crapenters are back after their last album with a grown-up grunge-y psychedelic spiral, taking the form of their new single ‘Depression’ (out today).
After three studio albums since their formation in 2016, Sydney’s punk-rock powerhouse have become known for their well-matured and honest sound, picking elements from genres spanning from punk-rock to reggae to ska to create a sound that’s both their own while staying honest to the heart of rock. Their last album ‘Of A Love Renewed’ was praised by likes of Hysteria, AAA Magazine, and Backseat Mafia for its unique twist on a classic sound.
‘Depression’ is an ode to garage grunge, and with its psychotropic bass riffs, echoey, hymn-like vocals, and bloody metallic drums, it’ll leave a listener feeling like they’ve tread these roads before. Referred to by the band as ‘Smells Like Middle Aged Spirit’, this song takes subtle sampling from one of the most well-known songs of all time, with that same-but-different feeling tying right in to the theme of the song.

Repetition occurs all throughout the song, echoing how easy it can be to get trapped in a cycle and lose yourself to it. Exploring songwriter Chris Carpenter’s experience with depression and anxiety, this song also takes a step back and looks at the world around, looks at how many people are also struggling in the same way. This song is meant to be a touch point, a way for people to see themselves and also see those around them, with Chris saying that, “My hope is that people will hear it and think to themselves, “this guy feels the way that I do on a day to day basis, and knowing that this guy feels like I do, makes me feel less alone!””
This single will feature on their upcoming EP ‘Species Du Faeces’, which will debut in December, before they go back into the studio to record their new album in early 2025.
Tune in to a brand new kind of familiar with Crash & The Crapenter’s newest single ‘Depression’, out now.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
