Crash Kills Five E.P.:
WHAT DO YOU DO AT NIGHT? b w
IT'S ALWAYS THERE, SPECIAL SCHOOL
I never realized how good this single was until I heard it quite unexpectedly at a nightclub in Scarborough. It was really refreshing between the Heavy Metal and Rock "Classics" being played.
This is one of those singles that remind you of a lot of different bands, while still maintaining its own identity. I can hear early Ramones vocals especially, among other things, but since I can't pin down a complete influence, the song remains a really good pop tune by Crash Kills Five.
The packaging is really attractive for a totally independent production, and proves that it's possible for a band to at least try and shape their own destiny by putting out their own product, not sacrificing their artistic beliefs (expect perhaps due to cost of materials).
This is something CK5's moms can be proud of.
