Crash and the Crapenters.

Sydney’s punk-rock powerhouse, Crash & The Crapenters, have unleashed their raw and potent third studio album, ‘Of A Love Renewed’ (Tuesday, January 9).

Since their formation in 2016, this genre-blending band have been fusing elements of anthemic hard rock, punk rock, reggae, and ska into a sound that is undeniably pure and uniquely their own.

For their fierce third album, ‘Of A Love Renewed’ has the band delving deep into the post-COVID world, offering an unapologetic social commentary on the events of the past few years. Like true punk of bygone eras, the album is a raw, unfiltered universal reflection that feels brutally honest, leaving a lasting impression.

The album kicks off with the electrifying ‘Runner’s High’, a track that captures the endorphin rush after a long run and emphasizes the importance of managing mental health. Following suit is ‘I Don’t Get Johnny Funk’, a funk-infused journey reminiscent of early Red Hot Chili Peppers, exploring the band’s perplexity towards the state of the modern world.

Next is ‘Go Get Gone’, a powerful anthem celebrating freedom post-lockdown, emphasizing the appreciation for home and community. ‘Somebody To Believe In’ then channels classic rock vibes, exploring the search for meaning in a world marked by superficiality and broken promises.

‘Chains’ shifts to a downtempo, swaggering rhythm, prompting reflection on the fortune of belonging to one’s home. Following that is ‘Fuck You and Your Phone’, a fierce punk track addressing the harmful effects of device dependence on personal well-being and humanity. Closing with ‘Those Who Matter Don’t Mind’, it radiates Aussie punk vibes, promoting self-belief, freedom of mind and soul, and doing what you want, regardless of others’ opinions.

Turning up their social commentary intensity, ‘Guilty As Sin’ is a musically potent track that boldly indicts priests in the Catholic Church, criticizing the institution for covering up crimes. Shifting gears, ‘Ride It Out’ introduces an upbeat ska-punk vibe, emphasizing the importance of self-care and encouraging listeners to find joy and relief from the stresses of today’s world.

Following is ‘For Tilly’s Sake’, a tribute to 15 year old Matilda Rosewarne, a victim of a cruel bullying campaign on social media, who tragically took her life. ‘The Grieving Song’ is a dynamic rollercoaster, shifting from upbeat ska to a raucous outro, exploring the weight of grief. The finale, ‘The World Is Broken’, a jagged punk anthem, serves as a plea for change, warning that our current path leads to impending doom.

Thematically potent and musically intense, this ruthless punk-rock album from Crash & The Craptenters isn’t for the weak-willed. At its core, it is a raw and unfiltered punk riot that packs a punch and a razer sharp bite.

‘Of A Love Renewed’ from Crash & The Crapenters is out now.
