CRASHFACE team up with SAM MATLOCK for ‘MANIAC’ single and video

Alternative punk duo CRASHFACE are back with their brand new single and chaotic music video for ‘MANIAC’, which features a guest collaboration from Wargasm‘s Sam Matlock. Along with the new track, the band have announced their brand new upcoming EP, LIFE AND DEATH IN THE WASTELAND, due for release 13th September. 

On the new single and EP announcement, CRASHFACE share:
“This one is for embracing crazy. Continuing on from the story of ‘C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W’, ‘MANIAC’ persists with venom in expressing frustration with the modern world, specifically the music industry (The Wasteland), especially in what it’s forcing artists to do in order to be “relevant”. Our brother-in-crime JAW has made this video what it is and knocked it out the park yet again. We wanted it to maintain an Edgar Wright-esque jagged edge while staying true to our aesthetics, and I think we’ve nailed it. And massive shout-out to the legendary Slim Jim’s in London for letting us do this super last minute! I had the song idea for a while but got pretty stuck, then showed it to Sam while we were hanging out and he was all in. The man is chaos but it’s exactly what this chapter needed. And it’s a cute 360 because Sam actually helped me write and record the first ever CRASHFACE song, the solo in ‘System At It’ is him playing! So it’s pretty fitting that he’s helping us kick off our third EP.”

‘MANIAC’ follows on from the band’s previously released single ‘C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W’, available to watch here. In late 2023 CRASHFACE released their latest EP Prototype, available to stream here

Championed as one of the most exciting, explosive bands in punk by the likes of Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and the BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, CRASHFACE are here to make a big impact on the scene.
