DeeCRACKS Release – “We Can’t Help It” Music Video Via Pirate Press Records

Cover Photo by: Ingo Karnicnik

It’s a big news today here at CPRA! DeeCRACKS has released a brand new video for “We Can’t Help It” via Pirate Press Records. This is the first single from their upcoming album Serious Issues which comes out March 12th on Pirates Press Records.

Per Pirates Press Records News Release –

“The song’s basically about life and love. How we can direct ourselves in a certain direction. Make things better or worse for us every day. But we can’t help to fall in love with someone. It just happens,” says lead singer Matt DeeCRACK.

Serious Issues is the follow-up record to the band’s 2017 LP, Sonic Delusions. The band toured relentlessly around the world in support of the album including a month-long European tour with the legendary CJ Ramone.

Although these hard-working fellas won’t be able to hit the road amidst the pandemic, they have not lost their DIY spirit and pension for staying active. Instead, the band has refocused their energy and will be releasing multiple music videos and live studio sessions over the next few months to promote the record.

Make no mistake about it, DeeCRACKS will be on the road as soon as the pandemic is over so we can safely enjoy these new tunes live!

Stay tuned to the band’s Facebook for order announcements!

CPRA Music News: The Reuters Release ‘Incubation’ Unboxing The Record W/Skabones

The REUTERS are back in the #CPRAMUSICNews spotlight again with their latest LP release, ‘Incubation’. I once described this band as “Killing Joke Meets The Doors” and that label still seems to apply with ‘Incubation’. Their blend of garage and psychedelic punk rock continues to pay homage to the greats of music’s past. 

I really enjoyed the new lp and want to thank Erik Pols for sending us a copy of the vinyl. I really miss getting records from bands. Thanks Erik!

Pick up the new album here https://sejarecords.bandcamp.com/album/incubation. Be sure to follow them on Facebook here, https://www.facebook.com/TheReutersBand/​.
