Crassula - What Would They Say

I always enjoy discovering new bands online, and it's probably even more fun when information on a group is scarce if available at all. All I can really tell you about Crassula is that they're from Edmonton and that their bio identifies them as vampires from space. The Internet doesn't have much else to tell me about this band. So it has crossed my mind that maybe these guys really are vampires from space - which would explain the lyrics about murder and abduction. "What Would They Say" is Crassula's debut single, and the title track pairs some smokin' old school punk rock and roll with lyrics about how hard it can be to fit in when you're new in town and compelled to drink blood. On the "B side", "Can't Stop My Hands" is a thumping three-chord punker that would be really disturbing if it weren't supposed to be really disturbing. I'm not usually much of a horror guy, but I'm digging these tunes a lot and am really looking forward to more songs from Crassula. I'm wondering if these creatures will have any luck with the ladies. I'm also curious how they would rate the taste of Earthling blood. What a cool, fun band! But you might wanna be wary if you're taking nighttime strolls anywhere in western Canada these days.
