what i like about creamers:
maybe the most impressive fact about this band is that two record labels have been spawned for the purpose of putting out the creamers' music. here's jolly dream's version of why they started a label to put out the first creamers 7". most of what i have to say is the same.
the first words of their first record..." no vote count could save today." there's no politics, and no booze--they're young skinny kids who don't party, mosh hard, and have like 5 tattoos between the four of them. it's not punk because it doesn't give a fuck, not punk because it does gives a fuck--just because it's mad as hell. it doesn't pretend to have the answers (no smash the state, no let's get wasted), it's raw and pissed-off and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. the music itself: starts/stops, hard mosh bits, mini-melodies and chant vocals. combines lots of classically punk/hardcore elements, but is totally unique. think the frantic guitars of black dots era bad brains with all over the place mini-melodies, vocals that manage to channel early american hardcore and chanty early oi at the same time. it's immediate and stripped down but not too predictable or familiar, and it's got some of the most cynical and overlooked lyrics in hardcore, period.
