Details:
It has taken Atlanta, GAâs Slow Motion Crash many years to emerge as a distinctive new sound in an exceedingly bustling Atlanta music scene.

Built on foundations of 80âs post punk and new wave, the band has created an ambitious new self-titled album that accentuates their accessible alternative styling and knack for keyboard exploration. Named after a state of constant musical collision, the band combines big bass distortion bottoms, precise drumming, electronic experimentation and tight, melodic guitar riffs to define their signature sound. In these arrangements, the band tackles confusion, fear, reflection, and redemptionâ¦the soundtrack for the lost and searching souls.

Reviews, 2007:
"Slow Motion Crash, have channeled their love for â80s new wave/goth into a new hybrid that sounds totally relevant in 2007. These songs have catchy, sing-along choruses, and the band members are not afraid to whip out a synthesizer to get their point across, and good for them. Sounds that were at one time considered passe are now new again â and actually refreshing...tracks that make up this release are grandiose, proud songs that are performed with conviction and no sense of self-importance."
-Jon Dawson, Performer Magazine

"These local boys and girls sure do play some gothically ethereal (or ethereally gothic?) shit. Joy Division and Interpol comparisons are inevitable. Thankfully, they do put their heart into it, resulting in some ass-shaking jams and dark lyrics that actually sound convincing."
- Mark Sanders, Creative Loafing (Atlanta)

Reviews, 2006:
"Back to the shade again, just in time to catch Slow Motion Crashâ¦no album, but my, oh my could they play...Another jaw dropping moment. Come north young lads, come north; I have just the venue in mind."
-David Anjo (VoodooFest Reviewer), The 50th Year Project

"Stark and powerful, the band sometimes recalls Sonic Youth and Fugazi's quieter moments, all the while adding their own energy to create a unique and powerful sound."
-Will Mason, Performer Magazine
