The independent record label Radio is Down of Olympia, Washington, USA, home of the likes of Replicator (USA), Ex Wives (Scotland), Bellini (Italy/USA) and others, proudly
presents its new, sixteenth release - the debut album by Croatia's Cripple and Casino.
Matt Lebens, the owner of Radio is Down, heard the band through their MySpace page.
Several songs, recorded in Cripple and Casino's practice space with one microphone, to a
minidisc taken out from a trashcan by a friend of the band, composed and played with
minimal technical skill (none of the members had ever played the instrument they play in
the band ever before) were promising enough for Lebens, so in the summer of 2008, he
offered to put out the band's first album, once they record it.
Near the end of 2008, after a year of work and merely 6 months since the forming of the
final lineup, Cripple and Casino entered the Kozmo studio in Zagreb, where they recorded
and mixed 10 songs which combine post punk, noise rock and post hardcore, and carry on the sonic legacy of Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth, Jawbox etc., all this in a unique
and authentic manner, without any limitations from their label manager. Mijo Gladovic
(Analena, Lunar), Vedran Brlecic (Contract), Sasa Relic (Don't Mess With Texas, Lunar)
and Mihael Bele (Peach Pit) provided their priceless assistance in the studio. The
material then flew over the ocean once again, and was mastered by Ben Adrian in San
Francisco.
Cripple and Casino will be promoting this record of how they formed, lost, searched,
found and grew with a series of shows in the region, starting with their hometown Zagreb. Come visit them and fetch your copy of this exciting release!
