Crash And Britany were a indie-emo/ noise rock band from Sacramento, California. The band had an impressive history with live shows; playing Lollapalooza in 1995, opening for Pearl Jam on the big stage with 50k people in attendance as well as playing with bands like Deftones and Seam. Despite having their foot in the door to be swept up by the major label feeding frenzy of the 90s, Crash And Britany never became the next Nirvana, despite having come quite close.
Crash And Britany's sound was a unique mix of noise rock, shoegaze and indie-emo that became more and more polished over their 6 year tenure. In my opinion their 1996 5 song recording (later released in 2015) was the peak of their work, making for a compelling and "marketable" sound that could have propelled them to stardom if they just stuck around a few years longer.
Crash And Britany's wall of noise sound combined with Kelly Slushers hypnotic voice helped the band make a ton of fun and catchy songs, I would recommend this band wholeheartedly for fans of emo as well as fans of the precambrian explosion of 90s alternative. Hopefully someday Crash And Britany will get their due!
