Crustacean Records Announces New Signees

Crustacean Records is delighted to announce the addition of four more bands to its stable of musical artists, THE SKULLCRANES and 20 DOLLAR LOVE from the Twin Cities, BLOODCOW from Omaha, Nebraska, and IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE from Chicago, Illinois. THE SKULLCRANES and 20 DOLLAR LOVE will be releasing new full-length records on Crustacean in the first half of 2009, and BLOODCOW and IMPERIAL BATTLESNAKE are recording this summer for new albums to come out late in 2009 or early in 2010 on Crustacean Records.

All four acts were part of Round 13 Records, a now defunct collective record label run by the its own musical artists, along with well-tenured Crustacean riff masters, DROIDS ATTACK, who called Round 13 their second home. Like DROIDS ATTACK, all four new additions to the roster exist in a heavy musical realm drawing on elements for metal, punk and generalized ass kicking rock and roll.

The Giraffes Sign to Crustacean Records

Crustacean Records is overjoyed to announce the addition of the Giraffes to their stable of exceptional musical artists. The Giraffes is a four-piece band formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1998 who traffic in a particularly potent and hedonistic blend of rock and roll music encompassing metal, punk, surf guitar rock, and much more.

Crustacean management had been admirers of the Giraffes for years primarily via exposure to their powerful live show, which has made repeated tour stops in Madison, Wisconsin over the years. Prolific as they are destructive, these boys from Brooklyn have already released four full-length albums and an EP as well as having toured with the likes of Eagles of Death Metal, Local H, The Means, The Vacation, Skeleton Key, and have been repeatedly been invited back for Austin`s SXSW music festival


The fifth album by the Giraffes and their debut on Crustacean Records is entitled Prime Motivator and was recorded by the Giraffes in 2007 and will be released late this Fall. Prime Motivator is the most engaging release to date by these Brooklyn mayhem enthusiasts with thirteen tracks of relentless yet stylistically diverse hard driving rock.


Before the album release, the Giraffes are embarking on an ambitious nine-date tour to Colorado and back home to New York City. The highlight is the Giraffes appearance at the Monolith Festival at 8 pm on Sunday, September 14, alongside such huge acts as TV On the Radio, The Kills, The Avett Brothers, Superdrag, Atmosphere, Devotchka, Vampire Weekend, and Del the Funky Homosapien, and many others at one of the world’s most picturesque venues, Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver.
