Crushed releasing a new EP (stream a track), opening for SECT this weekend
The EP was recorded and mixed by Ben Greenberg of Uniform and, in a way, Deep User is sort of the inverse of Uniform's new album. While Uniform make harsh noise with a distinct influence from hardcore punk, Crushed kinda flip the formula.
