Vancouver’s CRNKSHFT release their new deluxe self-titled EP


The deluxe EP features two new tracks, one being “Darkside” and the other “Silence” from the previous original self-titled EP released this past March 24th.  The is EP produced by engineer Daren Grahn who has worked on releases by Metallica, Hedley, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi.

 

“Our new EP is a beast; we are really excited to showcase our melodic side. The four songs should touch a wide demographic of fans, which is what we want. We aren’t looking to be defined as just a heavy metal band, but as a hard knocking punch to get anyone going. We’re accepted by all those who listen to metal and rock. The whole idea of CRNKSHFT’s music is that we’ll be enjoyed by fans across a variety of genres.” states the band.

And when it comes to lyrics, vocalist Shane Jolie explains.

“This EP is pseudo political, but also has songs about heartache and emotions, it’s not a story from start to finish, and each song has its own message. It’s an EP to show the world who we are and what we’re all about. My writing is dark, ideas came from depression and anger, sometimes when I’m happy, but mostly not and it’s still very true to this day. I want people to take whatever they can from the listening experience of our new EP. Music always helped me out of my funks and I want CRNKSHFT to do the same. Let it be accessible to all people and all feelings.”
