Crimpshrine are like an issue of the legendary <I>Cometbus</I> fanzine set to music, and with good cause -- Aaron Cometbus penned many of the songs Crimpshrine played. Their fun, catchy, rough and gravelly style set the standard in sound, content and lifestyle for a generation of Punk-Pop bands. Crimpshrine lasted only a few years, but their songs and stories quickly grew to near mythical proportions, including their one (and only) ill-fated tour of the U.S. in a beat-up Pinto. They lived the life about which they sang; and sang about the world in which they lived. Though not always pretty, Crimpshrine managed to put an alluring twist on both their sound and lyrics. - Mark MurrmannPop Punken720Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:01:00 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68643&rws=%2Fcrimpshrine%2Fmusic-videos.rss Ripped shirts and torn jeans walk around empty city streets at night, climbing fire escapes and digging in dumpsters.
