Meet Crusasis, see them live Monday at Secret Project Robot

Crusasis could be huge. I know that sounds like chapter one in the Music Writer Cliche handbook. I know that it’s not the 70s anymore and not every three-piece rock band with good songs gets their own RCA greatest hits collection. I know. I know. But just listen…

The soulchild of Ryan Smith—singer and drummer of long-running post-sludge outfit Thera Roya—Crusasis is a blues-inflected indie-rock mirage born from the Brooklyn metal scene. But what truly sets Crusasis apart isn’t the context, but the songcraft, an impossibly catchy commitment to emotive slow-burn boogie, encapsulated on their first full-band single “Unrealistic Love”. Like I said, just listen. If Smith’s Robert Plant-ian falsetto belting “and all my love/and all my ego” doesn’t have you humming on the elevator in front of five co-workers like an idiot by the end of the day, you can get your click back.

For the rest of us—the majority, I’m guessing—if you want to hear more than the three Crusasis cuts currently living on bandcamp, the trio play Secret Project Robot tonight at 8:30pm in support of Peter Piek and He Arrived by Helicopter. Tickets for that one are $10 and available at the door.
