I would say that there are so many bands that have the word 'Crystal' in the band name, but I can only honestly think of two. Crystal Castles, who have that very reputation of being absolutely mental live because of the exciting lead singer Alice Glass.
Then, there's CRYSTAL FIGHTERS. Strange, slightly dubstep-y, but extremely fresh. I like them alot. They remind me a bit of when Late Of The Pier first appeared on the music scene, where everyone enjoyed their different take to music, dragging in various genres. Both 'Follow' and 'Swallow' also have different sounds to them. No song on CRYSTAL FIGHTERS album 'Star Of Love' sounds the same I can tell you that. 'Follow' has such a catchy feel to the chorus, just something about it is so bouncy and flows so well with the rest of the song. 'Swallow' on the other hand, has eaten and forced down whole a little piece of 'Follow' whilst chewing on a bit of dubstep in there too. It's interesting, I haven't heard a track like it before, honestly. CRYSTAL FIGHTERS are a tough band to (if you had to) point a finger at a group of people who would like them, it's all a bit unpredictable really.
Chomp, swallow and digest the two tracks:
Crystal Fighters - Follow/Swallow
Crystal Antlers, Crystal Stilts. These are another two that spring to mind (the latter being INCREDIBLE) and I think theres some more in my band book at home haha x
