Get ready to experience the electrifying sound of Crymwav, the Los Angeles-based rock quartet, as they release their highly anticipated new single, "Contagious." This track, accompanied by a dynamic music video, offers the first glimpse into their forthcoming full-length LP, tentatively titled Chop Chop, set for release in March 2025. Produced by JJ Blair (Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Weezer), "Contagious" blends dark energy with infectious hooks, showcasing Crymwav’s unique ability to craft music that’s both powerful and irresistibly groove-laden.

About Crymwav
Crymwav (pronounced “Crimewave”) formed in 2022 from the ashes of Los Angeles rock and rollers Smash Fashion. Guitarist and songwriter Roger Deering (Smash Fashion) teamed up with lead guitarist Lloyd Stuart Casson (also from Smash Fashion), Greg Rogers (Goatsnake, ex-Obsessed; drums), and Bruce Braddock (bass guitar) to create a sound deeply rooted in their shared musical experiences. Drawing inspiration from punk, post-punk, gothic rock, and NWOBHM, the band weaves their collective influences into a sound that’s fresh yet familiar, with nods to iconic acts like Hawkwind, The Clash, Killing Joke, Thin Lizzy, and UFO.

Frontman Roger Deering reflects, “Crymwav started to come together for me while I was staying in London about three years ago. Smash Fashion was at a standstill, and I was writing darker, heavier material. It was clear this was a different muse, and I wanted to channel the energy of bands from that area—Hawkwind, Motörhead, and The Clash. When I came back to LA, everything clicked, and the band came to life.”

New Single: "Contagious"
"Contagious" is a dark yet danceable anthem, combining Crymwav’s signature gritty energy with an irresistible groove. Described as “powerful and catchy,” the track highlights the band’s evolution and serves as a tantalizing preview of Chop Chop. The accompanying video further amplifies the single’s impact, delivering a visual feast that captures the essence of the track.

Praise for Crymwav
Crymwav’s self-released 2023 EP, 24/7, garnered rave reviews and international airplay. Guitar World Magazine described it as “Channelling the furious fire of Motörhead and UFO, cut through with the melodic sensibilities of Cheap Trick. Every track sounds like an instant stadium-filling anthem.” The EP established the band as a force to be reckoned with, and "Contagious" solidifies their place among today’s most exciting new rock acts.
