A long, long time ago I can still remember how the music used to make me smile

In the aftermath of the turbulent 1960s came a breath of fresh air. It was a time when fun and fashion would rule the day, a time when simplicity and sincerity became more important than protest and pandemonium. It as a time when Ziggy Stardust came to earth and Mott the Hoople came to Broadwayand it was magical!!

So with tongue placed firmly in cheek, Aladdin Sane announced to the world a change, beckoning us back to a higher calling. Back to the essence and spirit of what rock and roll was supposed to be. Flanked by legions of loyal followers from New York to London and beyond, bands like the New York Dolls showed us the fashion. Humble Pie cranked out their turbo-styled British electric blues. Alice Cooper and KISS torched or impaled anything in sight, and the Ramones just wanted us to dance and we did.

SO WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

To the Crash Street Kids it means EVERYTHING! The music, the clothes, the panache, the pure joy and abandon that was left back in that golden age. You can hear it in their melodies. You can read it in their lyrics and feel it in their beats.

It has been said that in order to move successfully into the future one must understand the past. The Crash Street Kids understand it.and embrace it with a new sense of style. Modernized and glistening like stars of tomorrow, they unleash their rockers like a torrent. Their ballads are urgent and brooding. Their pop songs are instantly singable. They will stick in your heads like chewing gum on your platform shoes!

All packaged, their live show is an event. They are not just a band playing songs. You will be sucked in and taken on a most glorious ride.

Gone are the dark days of grunge, and the rage and violence of hip-hop. Suburban screamo is over. The time has come for a change once again, and the kids have stepped up to deliver the goods. The new era has come, and the Crash Street Kids proudly and deservedly carry the torch. So raise your fist, not in defiance, but in triumph. For true rock and roll is back, and it never felt better!

Ring the bells, fire the canons, bang a gong.lets get it on!




Crash Street Kids âChemical Dogsâ album follows in the footsteps of itâs predecessor with a charm and wit only they can deliver. The album literally picks up where âLetâs Rock and Roll Toniteâ left off by using a devilishly morphed last punch of âGoodnite Clevelandâ to introduce the albumâs darker vibe.

âWeâve taken our sound and expanded it in all directionsâ states singer/guitarist Ryan McKay. âThis time we include some more orchestral sounds along with stripped down punkâ

It is indeed a diverse album, but what holds it together are the songs. Each one finely crafted and perfectly paced. The albumâs story line unfolds before you with imaginative lyrics and spine-tingling melodies. Rage and fury of songs like âGlassjawâ give way to haunting balladry in âMr. Starlightâ. Fans of CSKâs debut will find more of the great powerful pop in songs like âSpace Rock Time Bombâ and âMotor City Nazzâ.

Following a record as unique and cool as âLetâs Rock and Roll Toniteâ could not have been an easy task. But Crash Street Kids have done it with âChemical Dogsâ, and have hit one out of the park.
