Crack the Sky - The Sale

SKU 21-AC99712
I have a real soft spot for these guys and their first incarnation (1975-1980 or so) from my days selling records in Gaithersburg, MD at a shop that did a big biz in metal and hard rock. I guess you could say that they combined hard rock with melodic rock, while boasting a pretty fair amount of complexity and off-kilter-ness. And I am happy to say that that these musical hallmarks still seem to be true with this, their first new album in a number of years.

"15 new songs written by Crack The Sky's John Palumbo. All performed, arranged, and recorded by the band, with Joe Macre producing. Many have already become favorites at their live shows including L'Acte de Patriote and American Refugee. "The Sale" is a scathing remark on the American condition as we wobble into the 21st century. Stylistically both progressive and aggressive at times, its lyrics wind through the myriad of homeland difficulties, missteps, and possible outcomes these scenarios seem to indicate. Performances that long time fans have already embraced for their various intricacies and quirks punctuate this long form soundscape across the heartland and its borders."
