Crashed Pulse
Self-titled EP
CPR Music Inc.
Every once in awhile, it is nice to hear your critique shovel hit the pad lock on a tiny chest of local gold.
No – not the smokable kind; but a unique little package that you stumble upon, once every 3 or 4 years. Produced by Doug Naugler (The New Pornographers,Headstones, Tommy Chong), I found an anxious energy surrounds this 4 piece outfit from Vancouver with a sound that could only be described as dark, brooding, haunting …brilliant.
On the verge of a double scoop White Stripe sundae – add some Alice In Chains and you have a tasty EP chock full of melodic metal flavour. Intense power chords from guitarists Brent Bednar & Erik Nguyen compliment the sophisticated & charming vocals of singer Melissa Lai. Combine all of this with hard –driven beats from drummer Dov Kushnir and you have an impressive little debut.
