How long can we continue to let them treat us this way?
Never content with creating music without deeper meaning, Long Island’s Crash The Calm is a band whose artistic dedication cannot be questioned.
Since forming a decade ago, they’ve carved out a niche in the post-hardcore scene, wowing listeners with songs like their explosive debut “Holes.”
The release of their first full-length EP, “How’ve You Been,” in 2017 reaffirmed the band’s bright artistic talent and ability to create cohesive bodies of work, with their biting lyricism striking a welcome chord with their audiences.
In 2021, during the height of the pandemic, while others faced setbacks, Crash The Calm rose above incredible diversity. The release of their sprawling concept album “A Town Named Nowhere” was a memorable affair, complete with an interactive video game. Amidst lineup shifts and the ever-problematic pandemic, the band has, against all odds, thrived. With their live performances hailed as standout instances of 21st-century grunge, it’s clear that Crash the Calm has everything it takes to excel both in the studio and on stage.
With their latest release, “Sleep on the Floor,” Crash The Calm continues re-igniting the smoldering flames that even the pandemic couldn’t smother. “Sleep on the Floor” is a gripping exploration of addiction, homelessness, and society’s failure to address these crises—the single delves into themes of lost potential and unrealized dreams set against a backdrop of apathy.
With biting lines like “You could have been the king of your dreams / The pilot exploring, the doctor you need / The child was waiting, and died on the floor,” Crash the Calm boldly critiques the empty promises of policymakers. Delivered with a passionate vocal performance set to a backdrop of explosive instrumentals, Crash the Calm delivers a performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
“Sleep on the Floor” sees Crash the Calm preview a darker, more introspective sound that’s still unmistakable and striking. With a sharpened focus on societal issues and a reinvigorated lineup, Crash The Calm is poised to make waves again, forcing listeners to confront the uncomfortable truths we often ignore. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Crash the Calm’s newest release, “Sleep on the Floor,” out now on all major streaming platforms.
