The Crabs 

RAW 2 - The Remixes   CD or cassette

(Self-issued)



UK sparkplugs who once stomped and swiped determinedly. Brusqueness, brevity, and kick-ass dispatch are necessary components of dyed-in-leather Punk, as are crudity and curled-lip contempt for polite-society strictures. All that comes from the heart - schlepping along three fingers of cheeky outlook. 

Preserved cuts are practice-session ones. "Recorded as a 3-piece by simply placing a 1980's consumer tape recorder with built-in mics at the front of the rehearsal room and letting rip - this lo-fi d.i.y. masterpiece has now been remixed for your listening pleasure," was the group's description on Get Music's site.

Recommended: "R.A.M.O.N.E.S.," "Celibate Blues," "Swampthing"

Video: "Swampthing" (live, penultimate gig, prior to early '90s disbanding)
