CREEPS (+DOWNLOAD)

"The last one was our 70s album, this is our 80s album," jokes Indian Handcrafts drummer/vocalists Brandyn James Aikins. Although it's an offhand generalization, there's a good deal of accuracy to the jest. Throughout, Creeps pits elements of early Metallica's dingy denim thrash, Judas Priest's shiny leather turbo metal, Queens of the Stone Age's flannel-flying rock and even Creatures Of The Night-era KISS" glossy hard pop alongside the band's signature amalgam of Death From Above 1979 style futuristic alt-rock and a cross section of blistering punk-sludge hallucinations.
