New Noise Magazine is pleased to be working with Crazy & The Brains to bring forth the exclusive music video premiere of “Hustlin.” The song is eccentrically tinged in punk, layering a vibrant poem into a song of unity. The vocals are front and center, strengthening the performance over a plethora of instrumental progressions. The video finds the band outlining the lyrics in the poem throughout a few locations. Take a listen below, and make sure to catch the band live on their run with The Bouncing Souls, coming in early April.
“Hustlin is a tribute to Nina Simone, Joe Strummer & Dick Gregory. The song is a mash up of a Rick Ross’ cover and an original poem celebrating love, compassion and unity.” – Crazy & The Brains
Surfacing from the house parties in northern New Jersey, Crazy & The Brains poured into the punk scene as an acoustic guitar/xylophone duo.
Founding members Jesus Christoph and Jeffrey Rubin made their rounds through the Lower East Side Manhattan open mic scene before manifesting into a full band and recording their debut album “Let Me Go” in 2013.
Fiercely independent the lyrics confront social and political constructs, explore the dark territories of mental illness, champion sexual freedom and express a devoted love for junk food. Sonically, Crazy & The Brains draw comparison to the early days of New York Dolls while replacing every guitar lead with a xylophone solo.
