L1V3 S1CK0 L0V3 F3ST

by CRONIES

supported by

RobberDuck ^^ Refreshing sounds all over. Really love the vocals and lyrics very new school. What do you call it, grunge-rap?! Doesn't matter, sounds great.. It is backed by a propeller of bass, spoken words and all the other things that make noise rock so fun. Most innovative rock genre atm.

Cut my dreads off it’s nice to meet you I go fitness planet nice to meet you Raise the rent oh it’s nice to meet you I just get off with my vacation I am now the beep of a car alarm like how you are now the force that you wanna disarm Frozen beauty sleep kept warm by a firearm Bringing in the guns just to keep you from harm Every day you drive you put yourself into prison Every day I drive I am the vessel that’s driven Time’s all up- you’re not forgiven My Brother In Christ, I am the one that has risen Cut my dreads off it’s nice to meet you I go fitness planet nice to meet you Raise the rent oh it’s nice to meet you I just get off with my vacation Now I take a journey to the shallowest place Like how you are now so horny they can spit in your face Greeting their attorney with a loving embrace Put you on the gurney all for a safe workspace Every day you drive you put yourself into prison Every day I drive I am the vessel that’s driven Time’s all up- you’re not forgiven My Brother In Christ, I am the one that has risen I dress my refugee effigy in a veil My homie gets parole then she works at the shell my god can see me better when I put on the bells Cause I’m an old school priest and im immune to your hell Cut my dreads off it’s nice to meet you I go fitness planet nice to meet you Raise the rent oh it’s nice to meet you I just get off with my vacation

Sick Rats They circle the dead And now I See The flood that’s overhead I guess they must have missed the day where they were eaten up by stars I’m trapped inside my inner parking lot of cars Sick Rats They circle the dead And now I See I see The flood that’s overhead Sick Rats They circle the dead I guess they must have missed the day where they’re eaten up by stars I’m trapped inside my inner parking lot of fucked up cars And now you bleed yourself dry You rip your veins across the sky There’s nothing quite like There’s nothing quite like watching your friends die.

about

First single "Rentboy" absolutely captivates. Building over four and a half minutes, the song bursts with attitude and stadium-size hooks, spewed across a slow groove. A fresh, young take on '90s stylings, it hits like a maniacal new re-imagining of early Rage Against The Machine.

As hard as "Rentboy" goes, this anthem is just one of eight, equally banging bangers. There are no misses on L1V3 S1CK0 L0V3 F3ST.

The formula is golden. With one hand, Cronies offers euphoric melodies and unapologetic bounce; with the other, scorched tones and unhinged vocals. One hand welcomes you in, the other goes for the throat. "I see Cronies as being the trainer," says vocalist Brad Hoyt. "The listener is the dog whose nose we’re pushing into the shit."

The balance of the catchy and the abrasive in CRONIES' unique psychedelic grunge brings to mind a blend of Helmet, Nirvana, and the Butthole Surfers, but bassist/vocalist Shea Glasheen reminds us that Cronies is a band of the here and now: "I definitely take some influence from '90s artists but I'd say my peers in the NYC music scene influence me more than anyone. I think now, I hear everything I've been taught by my good friends. That's what I hold the most dear to my songwriting."

Indeed, the band shines amidst NYC's current scene of forward-thinking noise-punks – bands like Show Me The Body and Venus Twins. And beyond NYC, beyond the "underground," fans of current superstars Turnstile and Idles might very well find something to love as well.

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
