CRASHFACE have joined forces with Wargasm's Sam Matlock for new single ‘MANIAC’, taken from their forthcoming EP ‘LIFE AND DEATH IN THE WASTELAND’.
With the EP set to drop on September 13, the new track follows on from previously released single ‘C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W’.
It also comes with a brilliantly chaotic music video, which you can check out below.
Speaking on ‘MANIAC’ and the EP announcement, CRASHFACE have shared:
“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.”
In support of the EP, the duo will be playing a handful UK shows later this year.
